Question
Answer
show a relatively permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience. (p. 215)  
🗑
show an organism’s decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it. (p. 216)  
🗑
show learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning). (p. 216)  
🗑
show a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. (p. 218)  
🗑
show the view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2). (pp. 6, 218)  
🗑
unconditioned response (UR)   show
🗑
conditioned response (CR)   show
🗑
conditioned stimulus (CS)   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. (p. 220)  
🗑
higher-order conditioning   show
🗑
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. (p. 221)  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses. (p. 222)  
🗑
discrimination   show
🗑
learned helplessness   show
🗑
respondent behavior   show
🗑
operant conditioning   show
🗑
show behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences. (p. 228)  
🗑
law of effect   show
🗑
operant chamber   show
🗑
show an operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior. (p. 229)  
🗑
discriminative stimulus   show
🗑
reinforcer   show
🗑
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. (p. 231)  
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
primary reinforcer   show
🗑
conditioned reinforcer   show
🗑
show reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs. (p. 232)  
🗑
partial (intermittent) reinforcement   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses. (p. 232)  
🗑
variable-ratio schedule   show
🗑
fixed-interval schedule   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals. (p. 233)  
🗑
punishment   show
🗑
cognitive map   show
🗑
show learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it. (p. 236)  
🗑
insight   show
🗑
intrinsic motivation   show
🗑
extrinsic motivation   show
🗑
show a system for electronically recording, amplifying, and feeding back information regarding a subtle physiological state, such as blood pressure or muscle tension. (pp. 240, C-8)  
🗑
observational learning   show
🗑
show the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior. (p. 242)  
🗑
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. (p. 243)  
🗑
prosocial behavior   show
🗑
