Classical Conditioning
In Pavlov's experiment, the bell represented this.
What is the Neutral and Conditioned Stimulus?
This term is when something undesirable is added to decrease behavior.
What is a Positive Punishment?
This is the acquisition of new knowledge
What is learning?
This type of learning links two or more stimuli to anticipate future events.
What is Classical Conditioning?
True or False: Behaviorists consider mental processes when studying behavior.
What is False?
In the following scenario, what is the unconditioned response? An individual receives frequent injections of drugs, which are administered in a small examination room at a clinic. The drug itself causes increased heart rate but after several trips to the clinic, simply being in a small room causes an increased heart rate.
What is pain after the injection?
This term is when something undesirable is removed to increase behavior.
What is a Negative Reinforcement?
This is when two or more stimuli occur together
What is Associative Learning?
In this learning, reinforcements and punishments are used to influence behavior.
What is Operant Conditioning?
This was a device used by B.F. Skinner to conduct his experiments.
What is a Skinner Box?
In the following scenario, what is the conditioned stimulus? You eat a new food and then get sick because of the flu. However, you develop a dislike for the food and feel nauseated whenever you smell it.
What is the Smell of the Food?
This term is when something desirable is removed to decrease behavior.
What is a Negative Punishment?
This is the decreased reaction to a stimulus with repeated exposure.
What is Habituation?
This term refers to the diminishing of a conditioned response.
What is Extinction?
Who is Thorndike?
In the following scenario, what is the conditioned stimulus? You receive happy news via text, and your phone makes a notification sound. Eventually, just hearing the sound makes you feel excited, even before reading the message.
What is Hearing the Notification Sound?
This term is when something desirable is added to increase behavior.
What is a Positive Punishment?
This is responding to similar stimuli the way you would to conditioned stimuli.
What is Generalization?
This term is a stimulus that satisfies a biological need.
What is a Primary Reinforcer?
The Garcia Effect is also known as this.
What is a Positive Reinforcement?
This term is defined as the recurrence of a previously extinguished conditioned response.
This term adds additional stimuli to a classical conditioning scenario.
What is Higher Order Conditioning?
This term explains that behaviors followed by a desirable consequence are repeated while those followed by an undesirable consequence are extinguished.
What is the Law of Effect?
