In Ivan Pavlolv's research,

He found that there are two types of responses, learned and unlearned. What are these responses called?

What is Conditioned and Unconditioned?

100

What is the initial period of learning when an organism learns to connect a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus?

What is Acquisition?

Going back to Operant Conditioning, 

(BLANK) is an aversive event that decreases the behavior that it follows and is a powerful controller of unwanted behavior. (BANK) is the opposite, as it encourages and rewards the action it follows.

What is Reinforcement and Punishment?

200

In Ivan Pavlolv's research,

He conducted clicker training with dogs, where a sound would be paired with the giving of food. Whenever he would make the sound,  the dog would salivate for the food. What is this process called?

What is Classical Conditioning?

200

What term in psychology refers to learning not to respond to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly without change? (Hint) A perfect example of this is a clock in a quite room, while you work on something else.

What is Habituation?

In terms of Reinforcement,

What is the main difference that separates Primary and Secondary Reinforcers?

What is one is biologically necessary and the other is not?

In John B. Watson's research with Little Albert,

He would pair the stimulus of seeing animals with the unconditioned stimulus of hearing a terrifying noise. This process turned the seeing the of animals into a conditioned stimulus, which resulted in crying. What type of stimulus was the interaction of animals before its conversion?


What is Neutral Stimulus?

Regarding general processing in classical conditioning, 

Extinction is the decrease in a conditioned response when the UCS is no longer presented with the CS. What does the term Spontaneous Recovery mean then? (NOTE) Can't use the word in the explanation.

What is the return of a previously extinguished conditioned response following a rest period?

300

Regarding Punishment and Reinforcement,

The adjective (BLANK) implies the subtraction of an undesirable or desirable stimulus, while (BLANK) implies the addition of either kind of stimulus. Identify each adjective.

What is Negative and Positive?

In Edward Thorndike's study,

He developed a principle in which behavior is more likely to be repeated if rewarded and or discouraged when met with an unpleasant outcome. What is this principle called?

What is Law of Effect?

400

When distinguishing stimuli,

Stimulus Discrimination is when an organism learns to respond differently to various stimuli that are similar. What would this say about Stimulus Generalization?

What is it when an organism demonstrates the conditioned response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus?

400

Looking at Reinforcement Schedules,

If Ratios revolves around numbers, what are Intervals based on?

What is Time?

In B.F. Skinner's research with pigeons,

He would make pigeons take small, gradual steps towards the completion of a targeted goal. In psychology, what is this process refered to as?

What is Shaping?

Breakdown the scenario.

Around the age of five, Timmy was bitten by a chihuahua. The experience was alarming for him. Today, whenever he sees a dog, he becomes a little uneasy. Please identify the UCS, UCR, CS, and CR.

What is the dog bitting him, his initial response of fear, whenever he sees a dog, and he becomes uneasy?

Concerning Reinforcement,

Which type has the strongest resistance towards extinction? Continuous or Partial?

What is Partial Reinforcement?
