CC & OC Vocab Flashcards
Learning
Relatively permanent change in behavior from experience
Classical Conditioning
Type of learning, pair to stimuli
Stimulus
The person, place, or thing we respond to
Response
How we act or behave
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
Automatic person place or thing
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
Automatic action or behavior
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Trained person place or thing
Conditioned Response (CR)
Trained action or behavior
Acquisition
Process of pairing two stimuli, Repetition or Intensity
Extinction (CC)
Response diminishes with no pairing
Spontaneous Recovery
After extinction, response comes back
Generalization
Same response, to similar stimuli
Discrimination (CC)
different response, to differing stimuli
Operant Conditioning
Type of learning, give rewards or consequences
Law of Effect-Edward Thorndike
Reward = more behavior Consequence = less behavior
B.F. Skinner
Trained pigeons tricks for food
Reinforcement
Increase behavior
Positive Reinforcement
Add something they like to increase behavior
Negative Reinforcement
Subtract something they don’t like to increase behavior
Primary Reinforcement (What we use)
An automatic reward
Secondary Reinforcement (What we use)
Learned reward
Punishment
Decreases behavior
(Positive Punishment) The behavior leads to an undesirable event
Add something they don’t like to decrease behavior
(Negative Punishment) The behavior ends a desirable state or event
Subtract something they like to decrease behavior
Shaping
The process of rewarding steps along the way
Discrimination (OC)
only do specific behavior for reward
Extinction (OC)
Behavior dies without reward/consequence
Schedules of Reinforcement
When we reward/punish
Continuous Reinforcement
Reward/punish all the time
Partial Reinforcement
Reward/punish only sometimes
Fixed Ratio
Set number (Quickest response)
Variable Ratio
Random number (Longest lasting)
Fixed Interval
Set time (Cramming/procrastination)
Variable Interval
Random time (Autopilot/consistency)
