Classical Conditioning
Change in behavior in response to a stimuli or experience.
Learning
Response caused by the conditioned stimulus
Example- An example would be when a person starts salivating at the sound of a toaster popping.
Conditioned Response
Type of learning that occurs by watching others
Observational Learning
When a parent spanks a child for cursing, what type of operant conditioning principal are they using?
Positive Punishment
Reinforcement is delivered at predictable time intervals
Fixed Interval
learning in which the stimulus or experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired or associated with the behavior
Classical Conditioning
Stimulus that does not initially elicit a response
Neutral Stimulus
Psychologist who created the Social Learning Theory and completed the BoBo doll experiment.
Albert Bandura
When an elementary school teacher gives a student a sticker for participation in class, what type of operant conditioning principle are they using?
Positive reinforcement
Reinforcement is delivered after a predictable number of responses
Fixed Ratio
stimulus that elicits a reflexive response
Example= Thunder could make people jump
unconditioned stimulus
period of initial learning in classical conditioning in which a human or an animal begins to connect a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus will begin to elicit the conditioned response
Acquisition
Person who performs a behavior that serves as an example (in observational learning)
Model
When an employee is fined money for being late to work, what operant conditioning is being used?
Negative punishment
Reinforcement is delivered after an unpredictable number of responses
Variable Ratio
natural (unlearned) behavior to a given stimulus
Example- A dog salivating when they see food.
Unconditioned response
decrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the conditioned stimulus
Extinction
What are two of the 4 steps in the modeling process?
Attention, motivation, retention, reproduction.
Negative reinforcement
Reinforcement is delivered at unpredictable time intervals
Variable Interval
Stimulus that elicits a response due to its being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Example- Bell being paired with food.
Conditioned Stimulus
demonstrating the conditioned response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus
Stimulus generalization
What conclusion did Albert Bandura come up with based on his Bobo doll experiment?
Answers will vary...
They concluded that children can learn from models/ imitate adult behavior.
What would be a real life example of a negative punishment?
Answers will vary
If you were trying to motivate your employees to sell more merchandise, what reinforcement schedule would you use? How?
