Punishment and Observational Learning
100
This stimulus evokes an unconditioned response without previous conditioning.
What is Unconditioned Stimulus.
100
This occurs when an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus does not respond in the same way to new stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus.
What is Stimulus Discrimination.
100
Inherently reinforcing because they satisfy biological needs.
What is Primary Reinforcers.
100
Reinforcement behavior after a set number of responses.
What is Fixed-Ratio Schedule.
100
Occurs when an event following a response weakens the tendency to make that response.
What is Punishment.
200
This stimulus does not originally produce a specific response.
What is Neutral Stimulus.
200
When an organism responds to a new stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus.
What is Stimulus Generalization.
200
Different patterns of reinforcing a behavior.
What is Schedules of Reinforcement.
200
Reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.
What is Variable-Ratio Schedule.
200
Occurs when something good is taken away.
What is Negative Punishment.
300
This response is a learned reaction to a CS that occurs because of previous conditioning.
What is Conditioned Response.
300
This is the gradual weakening and disappearance of a CR tendency.
What is Extinction.
300
When behavior is reinforced every time.
What is Continuous Reinforcement.
300
Reinforce the first response after varying time intervals.
What is Variable-Interval Schedule.
300
Occurs when something unpleasant is added to the situation.
What is Positive Punishment.
400
This response is an unlearned reaction to the US that occurs without previous conditioning.
What is Unconditioned Response.
400
This is the reappearance of an extinguished response after a period of non-exposure to the CS.
What is Spontaneous Recovery.
400
Events that acquire reinforcing qualities by being associated with primary reinforcers...they depend on learning.
What is Secondary Reinforcers.
400
Reinforce the first response after a fixed time period.
What is Fixed-Interval Schedule.
400
When an organism’s responses are influenced by the observation of others.
What is Observational Learning.
500
This stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that through conditioning acquires capacity to evoke a conditioned response.
What is Conditioned Stimulus.
500
Occurs when a strong conditioned stimulus is paired with a neutral stimulus, causing the neutral stimulus to become a second conditioned stimulus.
What is Higher-Order Conditioning.
500
When behavior is reinforced only some of the time.
What is Intermittent Reinforcement.
500
This ratio has a higher resistance to extinction.
What is Variable Ratio.
500
The four key processes of observational learning.
What are attention, retention, reproduction, and Motivation.
