Psych 111 Chapter Six

What is the term for any relative permanent change in behavior that occurs because of experience?

What is the term for a kind of learning that involves associations between environmental stimuli and responses?

What kind of conditioning occurs when the organism learns to associate two stimuli?

What is the term for something that elicits the unconditioned response  (food) and is not learned?

What is the term for a response which is automatically produced? (salivating)

What is the term for an originally neutral stimulus that elicits a behavior after being paired with a US (bell)?

What is the term for a response elicited by the conditioned stimulus  (salivate to bell)?

What is the term for the phase of Classical conditioning when the US and CS are paired together?

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?

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?

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

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?

What is the term for when one learns to realize the differences between similar stimuli?

What is the term for when a satisfying result strengthens/increases a behavior?

What type of consequence is one that is not more or less likely to see behavior patterns change?

What type of consequence is anything which will make a response more likely to occur?

What type of consequence is anything which will make a response less likely to occur?

What kind of reinforcer satisfies biological needs like food, water, and sex?

What kind of reinforcer satisfies through association with primary reinforcers? (e.g. money, praise, grades)

What is the term for what happens when presentation or removal of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of a response?

What is the term for when something occurs (stimulus presented) to decrease a behavior? (spanked, mouth washed out with soap)

What is the term for when something is removed to decrease a behavior? (no TV, no dessert)

What is the term for a learning schedule in which the reward/punishment occurs each time the behavior occurs?

What is the term for a learning schedule in which the reward/punishment occurs when a response occurs only some of the time?

What is the term for a learning schedule in which reinforcement is delivered after a certain fixed number of responses?

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?

What is the term for a learning schedule in which reinforcement is delivered after some average number of responses? (on average 7 times)

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)

What is the term for a learning schedule in which a reinforcement is delivered after a fixed number of responses? (every 4 times)

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)

What is the term for reinforcing behavioral tendencies in a desired direction?

What is the term for reinforcing responses that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior? (used in shaping)

What theory of learning believes that there is a higher level cognitive process to how we learn, and this impacts attitudes, beliefs, and expectations?

What are Bandura's four key components to observational learning?

Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning involves being aware of another's behavior and consequences?

Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning involves having the capacity to store/retrieve what you have observed?

Which one of Bandura's four key components to observational learning involves being able to behaviorally imitate what has been stored in memory?

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?
