What is proactive inhibition?

What is a negative effect on learning and brain development?
Patterns specifying the frequency and timing of reinforcements.
What are Schedules of Reinforcement?
He noticed previous models ignored the phenomena of modeling.
Who is Albert Bandura?

What is the default mode network?
Learning that certain events occur close together. For example, in classical conditioning 2 stimuli occur together and in operant conditioning, a response and its consequence occur together
What is Associative Learning?
The primary focus of social learning
What are the effects of thoughts on actions and of actions on thoughts?
Intrinsic interests, anticipated ease of learning, and amount of background knowledge all contribute to this.
What is the mental energy a student is willing to devote to learning?
The type of memory that contains "know-how" stored in stimulus-response pairings.
What is procedural memory?
What is the same amount of brain activation?
This is the meaning of "negative reinforcers", though the term is often misinterpreted.
What are escapes from unpleasant situations?

What is cognitive behavior modification?
This stage of memory is where information is held temporarily and manipulated for various cognitive tasks.

What is the cerebral cortex?
This schedule has a steady response rate and a very slow decrease during extinction.
What is a variable interval schedule of reinforcement?
An example of this is when a researcher presses a button and a baby presses the button the next day.
What is deferred imitation?
This entire class where we're learning about learning and gaining knowledge about knowledge is an example of this.
