🗑
Law of Use   show
🗑
Example of Law of Use   show
🗑
Law of Effect   show
🗑
show Attempted to expand on Thorndike's original theories of instrumental learning. Proposed that learning process has a very predictable response to rewards and punishments. His work shows how those responses to behavior influenced future behaviors  
🗑
show Rats and pigeons in elaborated boxes that he designed and called "skinner boxes"  
🗑
show The process of learning to associate a behavior with a consequence. This typically results in behavior that maximizes reinforcing and minimizes punishing events  
🗑
Reinforcement   show
🗑
show Any outcome/response that decreases the frequency of the preceding behavior  
🗑
show Biologically useful, intrinsically satisfying, restores equilibrium  
🗑
show An introduction of a pleasurable stimulus after a behavior, which will increase the likelihood of the future occurrence of the behavior  
🗑
Negative Reinforcement   show
🗑
Positive Punishment   show
🗑
show A removal of (or a threatening to remove) a pleasurable stimulus after a behavior, which will decrease the likelihood of the future occurrence of a behavior  
🗑

🗑
Generalization   show
🗑

🗑
Primary reinforcers   show
🗑
show A reinforcer that has been learned through classical conditioning to increase the likelihood of a response  
🗑
Shaping   show
🗑
Chaining   show
🗑
Continuous Reinforcement   show
🗑
Partial/Intermittent Reinforcement   show
🗑
show Reward for a behavior after "X" responses. Causes faster responders to get more rewards. Produces high rates of responding but quick extinction when the reinforcement is removed  
🗑
Variable Ratio   show
🗑
show Reward for a behavior after "X' amount of time has passed. The responses are rather sparse in down time, but get more vigorous right before time X  
🗑
Variable Interval   show
🗑
What is the effectiveness of reinforcement?   show
🗑
