Classical Conditioning
produced by the conditioned stimulus
What is the conditioned response?
pairing a neutral stimulus with a unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response
What is classical conditioning?
did an experiment to demonstrate classical conditioning
What is Pavlov?
a conditioned response will tend to occur to similar stimuli as the conditioned stimulus
What is stimulus generalization?
What is reinforcement?
produced by a natural stimulus
What is the unconditioned response?
learning that pairs certain events together
What is associative learning?
known for law of effect (rewarding good behavior)
What is Edward Thorndike?
when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus, making the conditioned response weaker and eventually disappear
What is extinction?
procedure where reinforcements gradually guide actions toward a desired behavior
What is shaping?
initially neutral, that comes to produce a new response because of its association with the unconditioned stimulus
What is the conditioned stimulus?
a pleasant stimulus is paired repeatedly with a fearful one, to stop the fear
What is counterconditioning?
known for his work in the study of reinforcement
What is BF Skinner?
responding differently to stimuli that are not similar
What is discrimination?
a stimulus that increases the frequency of a behavior when it's presented
What is positive reinforcement?
produces a specified response before conditioning begins
What is the unconditioned response?
exposing a person to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus extinguished
What is flooding?
experimented with a dog, meat, and a bell
What is Pavlov?
relearning of a conditioned response after extinction
What is reconditioning?
unpleasant stimulus that increases the frequency of behavior when it is removed
What is negative reinforcement?
usually the same as the unconditioned response
What is the conditioned response?
people are taught relaxation techniques, then gradually introduced to the feared stimulus
What is systematic desensitization?
scientist that demonstrated generalization with little Albert
What is John B Watson?
following extinction the conditioned response reappears at reduced strength, when introduced after a rest period
What is spontaneous recovery?
law stating that a behavior that's followed by a satisfying result will produce a pattern
What is the law of effect?
