The Father of Behaviorism who conducted the "Little Albert" study.

Who is John Watson?

100

The first stage in Classical conditioning, when a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus.

What is Acquisition?

100
Any event that strengthens or increases the frequency of a response
What is Reinforcement
100
Any consequence that decreases a behavior
What is Punishment
100

A method of training complex behaviors by rewarding a subject as they get ever closer to the desired behavior.

What is shaping?

200
An unlearned, naturally occurring, response to an unconditioned stimulus.
What is Unconditioned Response
200
A drop off in responses when a CS no longer signals an upcoming US
What is Extinction
200
Give something that is desired to increase a behavior
What is Positive Reinforcement
200
Giving something that is undesired to decrease a behavior
What is Positive Punishment
200

The Father of Operant Conditioning.

Who is B.F. Skinner?

300
A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.
What is Unconditioned Stimulus
300
The reappearance of a weakened CR after a break
What is Spontaneous Recovery
300
Ending something that is undesired to increase a behavior
What is Negative Reinforcement
300
Reinforcing the first response after a fixed time period.
What is Fixed-interval schedule
300

Learning in the absence of rewards or punishments; it is typically automatically processed.

What is latent learning?

400
A learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus.
What is Conditioned Response
400
Tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to the CS
What is Generalization
400
Reinforcing behavior after a set number of responses. EX: Buy 10 Coffee's get one free.
What is Fixed Ratio Schedule
400
Reinforcing the first response after an unpredictable time interval.
What is Variable-Interval Schedule
400

He demonstrated observational learning with his famous Bobo doll study.

Who is Albert Bandura?

500
An originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus comes to trigger a conditioned response.
What is Conditioned Stimulus
500
The ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other irrelevant stimuli
What is Discrimination
500
Providing reinforcers after an unpredictable number of responses EX: Slot Machine
What is Variable-Ratio Schedule
500
Ending something that is desired to decrease a behavior
What is Negative Punishment
500

Reinforcing a behavior that is enjoyed makes that behavior less enjoyable.

What is overjustification effect?
