how children learn
What is the name of something children learn when they see or hear new information?
innate behaviors
a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response in an organism.
unconditioned stimulus
behaviors that are followed by consequences that are satisfying to the organism
law of effect
observed the model being punished, the subject would be less motivated to copy them.
vicarious punishment
Who proposed observational learning?
Albert Bandura
a motor or neural reaction to a specific stimulus in the environment.
Reflexes
A natural reaction to a given stimulus.
unconditioned response
a desirable stimulus is added to increase a behavior.
positive reinforcement
the model was reinforced for their behavior, the subject will be more motivated to copy them.
vicarious reinforcement
In Bandura’s Bobo doll study, when the children who watched the aggressive model were placed in a room with the doll and other toys, they ________.
kicked and threw the doll
a broader range of events, such as maturation and the change of seasons.
instincts
A stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response.
neutral stimulus
an undesirable stimulus is removed to increase a behavior.
negative reinforcement
Puppies see their mother or father pick up sticks and then see the owner throw the stick. what is the thing they learned by watching their parents?
they learn to try to get their owner attention.
The person who performs a behavior that serves as an example is called a ________.
model
a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge that results from experience.
learning
A stimulus that elicits a response after repeatedly being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
conditioned stimulus
an undesirable stimulus to decrease a behavior.
positive punishment
how do children learn many things both good and bad
by watching their parents, siblings, and others.
Learning is best defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior that ________.
occurs as a result of experience
an organism makes connections between stimuli or events that occur together in the environment.
Associative learning
A behavior caused by the conditioned stimulus
conditioned response
a pleasant stimulus to decrease behavior.
negative punishment
There are specific steps in the process of modeling that must be followed if learning is to be successful. Hint there is four.
attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.
