When your brain and nervous system make an association between 2 stimuli.
What is classical conditioning?
100
The diminishing of a conditioned response.
What is extinction?
100
Strengthens a response by presenting a stimulus after a response.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
100
Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs.
What is Continuous Reinforcement?
100
Performed by Albert Bandura, to try and add credence to his belief that all human behavior was learned, through social imitation and copying, rather than inherited through genetic factors.
What is Bobo doll experiment?
200
A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.
What is a Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)?
200
The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit similar responses.
What is Generalization?
200
Behaviors are a result of reinforcements and punishments.
What is Operant conditioning?
200
Reinforcing a response only part of the time.
What is Partial Reinforcement?
200
A laboratory apparatus used in the experimental analysis of behavior to study animal behavior.
What is Skinner's Box?
300
the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the UCS
What is the Unconditional Response (UCR)?
300
The phase where the neutral stimulus is associated with the UCS so that the neutral stimulus comes to elicit the CR
What is Acquisition?
300
Any event that strengthens the behavior it follows.
What is a reinforcer?
300
A schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses.
What is Fixed-ratio Schedules?
300
Arranged so that the animal would be required to perform a certain response, while he measured the amount of time it took them to escape.
What is Thorndike’s Puzzle Box?
400
an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with the UCS, comes to trigger a response
What is a Conditioned Stimulus (CS)?
400
The reappearance. After a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response.
What is Spontaneous Recovery?
400
A procedure in Operant Conditioning in which reinforcers guide behavior closer and closer towards a goal.
What is Shaping?
400
A schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses.
What is Variable-ratio Schedule?
400
People get sick after eating at a restaurant so they won’t eat at that restaurant, even if they know the food was safe.
What is The Garcia effect?
500
the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.
What is the Conditioned Response (CR)?
500
The learned ability to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that does not signal UCS.
What is Discrimination?
500
Key difference from Classical Conditioning
What is the subject’s behavior determines an outcome and is subsequently impacted by that outcome?
500
A schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed.
What is Fixed-interval Schedule?
500
John Watson classically conditioned a baby to fear a white rat. Then the baby feared all furry things.
