Chapter 6
The process of acquiring, through experience, new and relatively enduring information or behaviors
Learning
In Operant learning, we learn to associate a response and its
Consequence
Classical learning is where we learn to link two or more ______________and anticipate events
Stimuli
Another word for Observational Learning
Modeling
Imitation
In U.S. and Canada, homicide rates doubled as TV was introduced and spreading
Correlational
What are the 3 types of Learning?
Classical
Observational
Observational
Operant learning, involves learning associations between ________________and resulting events
Behavior
Famous Experiment associated with this type of learning, that involved salivation
Pavlov's Dog
Theorist and the experiment association with this type of learning
Bandura
Bo-Bo Doll
Violence-viewing effect stems from two factors: Media models prompt imitation & Prolonged exposure to violence desensitizes viewers
Experimental
What are the other 2 types of learning discussed in Chapter 6?
Biological
Cognitive
Skinner's experiments are built on this theorist
Thorndike
Law of Effect
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that evokes no response before conditioning
Neutral Stimulus
Fires when we perform certain actions and when we observe others performing those actions Provides a neural basis for imitation and observational learning
Mirror Neuron
Elementary schoolchildren exposed to media violence fought more and had a greater risk for violent behavior as teens.
Correlational
The 2 types of reinforcers are?
Positive
Negative
A pattern that defines how often a desired response will be reinforced
Reinforcement Schedule
In classical conditioning, the weakening of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus
Extinction
A term in Observational Learning that discuss how environments with high levels of aggression, TV, and videos can have adverse effects on Early childhood
Anti-social Effects
The tendency, after conditioning, to respond similarly to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus
Generalization
Learning that is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it
Latent Learning
Reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses
Variable Interval Schedules
Reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response
Spontaneous Recovery
Learning to anticipate a behavior’s consequences in situations like those being observed
Vicarious Reinforcement
Vicarious Punishment
Learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other irrelevant stimuli
Discrimination
