Q

Continuous reinforcement

A

A type of reinforcement where you are constantly rewarded for doing something

25
Partial reinforcement
You are only rewarded sometimes as opposed to all the time
26
Variable interval
Changing amount of time (unknown) Ex: fishing
27
Fixed ratio
Set amount of times that you have to repeat an action
28
Variable ratio schedule
Changing amount of repetitions between reinforcement
29
Fixed interval
Rewarding after a set amount of time
30
Fixed
Stays the same
31
Variable
Changes
32
Interval
Period of time
33
Ratio
Amount of repetitions
34
Mirror neurons
Located in motor cortex, person raises their hand chimp doesn't but a thing in their brain goes off that they are
35
Observational learning
Learning by watching something or someone else do that certain thing
36
Latent learning
Learning something without a reward and then being able to perform for a reward Ex: mice in the maze Also know as background learning
37
Insight
Think about a problem overtime and then suddenly the solution comes to you
38
Pavlov
CC with dogs
39
Watson
CC with baby Albert
40
Garcia
CC taste aversion
41
Thorndike
OC law of effect
42
Skinner
OC with positive reinforcement with rats and pigeons (operant chamber)
43
Tolman
Observational and social learning Latent learning (cognitive) Ex: maze with rats
44
Bandura
Observational and social learning BoBo doll (social and observational learning)
45
Behaviorism
The theory that behaviors can be explained using conditioning, and psychological disorders are best treated by altering behavior patterns
46
Learning
Lasting change in behavior that is a result of experience
47
Habituation
Decrease in a stimulus after being repeatedly exposed to it
48
Associative learning
CC and OC
49
Counter-Conditioning
Turns an unwanted behavior into a wanted behavior
50
Shaping
Successive approximations toward a target behavior are reinforced SKINNER
51
Higher-Order Conditioning
Make a stimulus meaningful, then use that stimulus as a basis of learning new stimuli
52
Token economy
Get tokens with no monetary value, then these tokens are exchanged for something with value. Ex: Red tickets, Chuck E Cheese
53
Behavior modification
Change in behavior through OC PR NR PP NP
54
Delayed reinforcer
A time delay between the desired response of an organism and the delivery of a reward Ex: a diet
55
Learned helplessness
Forced to bear a painful stimuli, becomes unavoidable and you just accept it
56
Modeling
Learning by imitation
57
Cognitive map
A mental representation where you can recall and decode info about your day to day life
58
Intrinsic motivation
Doing something because you enjoy it
59
Extrinsic motivation
Doing something for a reward
