2. In classical conditioning, this term refers to the response elicited by a conditioned stimulus after it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
1. What is the Unconditioned Response (UCR)?
2. What is the Conditioned Response (CR)
This term in operant conditioning refers to any consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior.

This term in operant conditioning refers to any consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior.
What is Reinforcement?
James has a 9-year-old boy named Albert. Albert stubbed his toe and won't stop crying. James remembers his Psych 100 class and decided to use some learning methods. He screams back at Albert, calling him a 'stupid weak child' and telling him that he'll never amount to anything. What specific type of conditioning is this and why is it ineffective?
This is Operant conditioning, specifically positive punishment. It is ineffective as punishment as a whole trains children to be sneaky and only works in the short run. In this case, it is also abuse.
Darren sneezes really loud. Before he sneezes, he always backs back super far. Lately, he's realized that when he bends back, his dog covers its ears with its paws. What is this an example of? List the components
Classical Conditioning
UCS: Loud Noise
UCR: The Dog's ears hurt and it covers them.
CS: Darren bending back
CR: Dog covers ear's when Darren bends backwards
1. Operant conditioning introduces the concept of schedules of reinforcement. What is the term for reinforcing a behavior after a set number of responses?
2. What schedule is more effective than this one?
What is a fixed ratio schedule?
What is a variable ratio schedule?

What is the dogs salivating to the sound of the lab assistant's footsteps, even before the presentation of food?

What is the children imitating and reproducing the aggressive behaviors they observed in the adults?
