CHAPTER 7 - Learning

        Help!  

Question
Answer
learning   show
🗑
show a form of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response after being associated with a stimulus that already elicits that response  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)   show
🗑
unconditioned response (UCR)   show
🗑
conditioned stimulus (CS)   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the learned response given to a particular conditioned stimulus  
🗑
higher-order conditioning   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, giving a conditioned response to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus  
🗑
stimulus discrimination   show
🗑
extinction   show
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show A classically conditioned dislike for and avoidance of a particular food that develops when an organism becomes ill after eating the food.  
🗑
law of effect   show
🗑
show b.f. skinner's term for instrumental conditioning, a form of learning in which a behavior becomes more or less probable, depending on its consequences  
🗑
skinner box   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning an increase in the probability of a behavior that is followed by a desirable consequences  
🗑
show in operant conditioning, an unlearned reinforcer that satisfies a biological need such as food, water, or oxygen  
🗑
secondary reinforcer   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a stimulus that indicates the likelihood that a particular response will be reinforced, and in the absence of which a particular response is not likely to be reinforced.  
🗑
show an operant conditioning procedure that involves the positive reinforcement of successive approximations of an initially improbable behavior to eventually bring about that behavior  
🗑
chaining   show
🗑
continuous schedule of reinforcement   show
🗑
show a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces some, but not all, instances of a desired response  
🗑
fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement   show
🗑
show a partial schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement after varying, unpredictable numbers of desired responses  
🗑
show a partial schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first desired response made after a set length of time  
🗑
variable-interval schedule of reinforcement   show
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
show learning to perform a behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus, as in negative reinforcement  
🗑
avoidance learning   show
🗑
extinction   show
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, the process by which an aversive stimulus decreases the probability of a response that precedes it  
🗑
show an operant conditioning procedure that uses tokens as positive reinforcers in programs designed to promote desirable behaviors, with the tokens later used to purchase desired items or privileges  
🗑
programmed instruction   show
🗑
computer-assisted instruction   show
🗑
show a feeling of futility caused by the belief that one has little or no control over events in one's life, which can make one stop trying and become depressed  
🗑
show a form of operant conditioning that enables an individual 2 learn 2 control a normally involuntary physiological process or 2 gain better control of a normally voluntary 1 when provided w/ visual/auditory information indicating the state of that response  
🗑
show the reversion of animals to behaviors characteristics of their species even when being reinforced for performing other behaviors  
🗑
show the degree to which members of species are innately prepared to learn particular behaviors  
🗑
blocking   show
🗑
latent learning   show
🗑
show learning produced by observing the consequences that others recieve for performing particular behaviors  
🗑
show a theory of learning that assumes that people learn behaviors mainly through observation and mental processing of information  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
