Assumption 2: Behaviour Learned through Conditioning

Question 1

What Are Two Types Of Conditioning?

Answer 1

• Classical Conditioning
• Operant Conditioning

Question 2

Describe The 3 Stages Of Classical Conditioning.

Answer 2

• Before conditioning, the UCS causes a UCR.
• During conditioning, a NS is presented alongside the UCS, and this is repeated several times.
• After conditioning, the CS (which was the NS originally) produces the CR.

Question 3

What Does UCS Stand For?

Answer 3

Unconditioned Stimulus

Question 4

What Does UCR Stand For?

Answer 4

Unconditioned Response

Question 5

What Does NS Stand For?

Answer 5

Neutral Stimulus

Question 6

What Does CS Stand For?

Answer 6

Conditioned Stimulus

Question 7

What Does CR Stand For?

Answer 7

Conditioned Response

Question 8

How Is Behaviour Learnt During Operant Conditioning?

Answer 8

New behaviours are learnt through reinforcement.

Question 9

What 3 Ways Is Behaviour Learnt During Operant Conditioning?

Answer 9

• Positive Reinforcement
• Negative Reinforcement
• Punishment

Question 10

How Does Positive Reinforcement Work?

Answer 10

Positive reinforcement is when the person is rewarded for their actions, making it likely for them to repeat the actions.

Question 11

How Does Negative Reinforcement Work?

Answer 11

Negative reinforcement is when behaviour is strengthened due to avoiding something unpleasant, e.g. a detention.

Question 12

How Is Behaviour Learnt Through Punishment?

Answer 12

Punishment weakens behaviour and should decrease the likelihood that the behaviour will reoccur.

Question 13

What Is The Opposite Of Reinforcement?

Answer 13

Punishment
