Question
Answer
learning   show
🗑
show Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its conquences (as in operant conditioning).  
🗑
classical conditioning   show
🗑
behaviorism   show
🗑
show In classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (US), such as salivation when food is in the mouth.  
🗑
show In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically-triggers a response.  
🗑
show In classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).  
🗑
show In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response.  
🗑
show In classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulusbegins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response.  
🗑
show A procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus.  
🗑
show The diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.  
🗑
show The reaapearance, after a pause. of an extinguished conditioned response.  
🗑
generalization   show
🗑
show In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
respondent behavior   show
🗑
show A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.  
🗑
show Behavior that operates on the enviroment, producing consequences.  
🗑
show Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfaavorable consequences become less likely.  
🗑
show In operant conditioning research, a chamber (also known as Skinner box) containing a bar or key that ananimal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer; attached devices record the animal's rate of bar pressing or key pecking.  
🗑
shaping   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, any events that strengthens the behavior it follows.  
🗑
show increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli,such as food. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response.  
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
primary reinforcer   show
🗑
conditioned reinforcer   show
🗑
continuous reinforcement   show
🗑
partial (intermittent) reinforcement   show
🗑
fixed-ratio schedule   show
🗑
variable-ratio schedule   show
🗑
show In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed.  
🗑
variable-interval schedule   show
🗑
punishment   show
🗑
show A mental representation of the layout of one's environment.  
🗑
show Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it.  
🗑
show a desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake.  
🗑
show a desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or avoid threatened punishment.  
🗑
observational learning   show
🗑
show The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.  
🗑
show frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing so. The brain's mirroring of another's action may enable imitation and empathy.  
🗑
show Positive, constructive, helpful behavior. the opposite of antisocial behavior.  
🗑
