100
Explanations of learning that emphasize observable changes in behavior.
What are behavioral learning theories
100
Russian scientist that pioneered the study of classical conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov
100
reinforced after a specific number of responses
What is a fixed ratio schedule
100
the onset of the CS precedes the onset of the US.
What is forward conditioning
100
In classical conditioning, this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus
What is extinction
200
A change in an individual that results from experience
What is learning
200
The process of repeatedly associating a previously neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus in order to evoke a conditioned response.
What is classical conditioning
200
a response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.
What is a variable ratio schedule
200
the CS and US are presented and terminated at the same time.
What is simultaneous conditioning
200
Being able to tell the difference between the bell tone and other similar sounds.
What is discrimination
300
The initial stage of learning when a response is first established.
What is acquisition
300
Scientist that proposed reflexive behaviors only account for a small portion of behaviors, studied operant conditioning.
B.F. Skinner
300
Which schedule of reinforcement has the highest level of responding?
What is a variable ratio schedule
300
The CS is presented in the absence of the US.
What is CS-alone extinction
300
Increases frequency of a behavior
What is positive reinforcement
400
The reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period.
What is spontaneous recovery
400
The use of pleasant or unpleasant consequences to control the occurance of behavior.
What is operant conditioning
400
response is rewarded only after a specified amount of time has elapsed.
What is a fixed interval schedule
400
occurs when a conditional stimulus immediately follows an unconditional stimulus.
What is backward conditioning
400
Taught subject animal to perform certain actions (like pressing a lever) in response to specific stimuli, like a light or sound signal.
What is Skinner Box
500
The tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the response has been conditioned.
What is generalization
500
A behavior that is prompted automatically by a stimulus
What is unconditioned response
500
schedule of reinforcement that has the lowest level of responding
What is a fixed interval schedule.
500
Fastest form of learning out of all types of classical conditioning.
What is forward conditioning
500
Occurs when a behavior is followed by the removal of a stimulus, such as a child’s toy, resulting in a decrease in that behavior.
What is negative punishment
