Learning Effects
Schedules of Reinforcement
100
The reappearance of an extinguished response when an organism is exposed to the original conditioned stimulus following a rest period.
What is spontaneous recovery
100
Anything that follows a response and strengthens it or increases the probability that it will occur
What is reinforcer
100
Learning that occurs without apparent reinforcement and is not demonstrated until the organism is motivated to do so.
What is latent learning
100

What is inhibitory effect
100
You find yourself playing candy crush for hours, even though you know you need to get back to work.
What is variable-ratio schedule
200
The learned ability to distinguish between similar stimuli so that the conditioned response occurs only to the original conditioned stimulus but not to similar stimuli
What is discrimination
200
The weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response as a result of the withholding on reinforcement
What is extinction
200
Learning by observing the behavior of others and the consequences of that behavior; learning by imitation.
What is observationial learning

300
Any event or object in the environment to which an organism responds
What is stimulus
300

What is model
400

What is facilitation effect
400
The typical outcome of a variable ratio of reinforcement in which a slow rate of initial learning is coupled with resistance to extinction.
What is partial reinforcement effect
500
Genetically programmed tendencies to acquire classically conditioned fear responses to potentially life-threatening stimuli
What is biological predispositions
500
A method of changing behavior through a systematic program based on the learning principles of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or observational learning.
What is behavior modification
500
Mental processes such as thinking, knowing, problem solving, remembering, and forming mental representations.
What is cognitive processes
