What is the term for any relative permanent change in behavior that occurs because of experience?
learning
-
What is the term for a kind of learning that involves associations between environmental stimuli and responses?
Conditioning
-
What kind of conditioning occurs when the organism learns to associate two stimuli?
classical conditioning
-
What is the term for something that elicits the unconditioned response (food) and is not learned?
unconditioned stimulus
-
What is the term for a response which is automatically produced? (salivating)
unconditioned response
-
What is the term for an originally neutral stimulus that elicits a behavior after being paired with a US (bell)?
conditioned stimulus
-
What is the term for a response elicited by the conditioned stimulus (salivate to bell)?
conditioned response
-
What is the term for the phase of Classical conditioning when the US and CS are paired together?
acquisition
-
What is the term for what happens when you repeat the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus over time and the conditioned response will disappear?
extinction
-
What is the term for what happens when after a response has been extinguished it may spontaneously reappear after the
passage of time with exposure to the conditioned stimulus?
spontaneous recovery
-
What is the term for pairing
a neutral stimulus with the conditioned stimulus will create another
conditioned stimulus, although a weaker conditioned response? More likely to
show extinction
higher order conditioning
-
What is the term for what happens when after a stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus for some response, other, similar
stimuli may produce the same reaction?
stimulus generalization
-
What is the term for when one learns to realize the differences between similar stimuli?
stimulus discrimination
-
What is the term for when a satisfying result strengthens/increases a behavior?
Law of Effect
-
What type of consequence is one that is not more or less likely to see behavior patterns change?
neutral consequence
-
What type of consequence is anything which will make a response more likely to occur?
reinforcement
-
What type of consequence is anything which will make a response less likely to occur?
punishment
-
What kind of reinforcer satisfies biological needs like food, water, and sex?
primary reinforcer
-
What kind of reinforcer satisfies through association with primary reinforcers? (e.g. money, praise, grades)
secondary reinforcers
-
What is the term for what happens when presentation or removal of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of a response?
punishment
-
What is the term for when something occurs (stimulus presented) to decrease a behavior? (spanked, mouth washed out with soap)
positive punishment
-
What is the term for when something is removed to decrease a behavior? (no TV, no dessert)
negative punishment
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which the reward/punishment occurs each time the behavior occurs?
continuous
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which the reward/punishment occurs when a response occurs only some of the time?
intermittent/partial
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which reinforcement is delivered after a certain fixed number of responses?
ratio schedules
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which a reinforcement is delivered after a certain amount of time has passed and the desired behavior has occurred?
interval schedules
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which reinforcement is delivered after some average number of responses? (on average 7 times)
variable ratio schedules
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which reinforcement occurs if a variable amount of time has passed since the previous reinforcer? (on average 5 minutes, could be 3 or 7 minutes)
variable interval
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which a reinforcement is delivered after a fixed number of responses? (every 4 times)
fixed ratio schedule
-
What is the term for a learning schedule in which reinforcement occurs after a fixed amount of time has passed since the past reinforcer? (5 minutes)
fixed interval
-
What is the term for reinforcing behavioral tendencies in a desired direction?
shaping
-
What is the term for reinforcing responses that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior? (used in shaping)
successive approximation
-
What theory of learning believes that there is a higher level cognitive process to how we learn, and this impacts attitudes, beliefs, and expectations?
observational learning
-
What are Bandura's four key components to observational learning?
- attention
- retention
- reproduction
- motivation
-
Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning involves being aware of another's behavior and consequences?
attention
-
Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning involves having the capacity to store/retrieve what you have observed?
retention
-
Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning involves being able to behaviorally imitate what has been stored in memory?
reproduction
-
Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning is determined by a belief that the behavior will bring about a desired response?
motivation
