Q

Expectancy

A

how a decision will play out

26
Q

example of expectancy??

A

you expect a certain result every time you flip a light switch

27
Q

Sign Gestalt

A

A learned relationship between environmental cues and expectancies regarding those cues

28
Q

ex. of sign Gestalt

A

after using a clicker you understand one button changes channels and one changes volume (this relationship is sign Gestalt)

29
Q

Latent learning ( Toleman)

A

knowledge is different than performance . no trying or reinforcement

30
Q

what did Toleman believe about rats and how they learned?

A

that you could learn a maze without trying and without reinforcement. by small exposure to it

31
Q

Clark Hull

Hypothetic deductive theory

A

an idea about how intervening variables work to explain behavior (MANY PARTS)

32
Q

Hull (Drive)

A

a biological need

33
Q

Hull what are biological needs?

A

food never goes away fully can be measured

34
Q

Hull (drive reduction)

A

organisms want to reduce drive to 0 so they feel content

35
Q

Hull (Habit strength)

A

whenever a behavior (response) successfully reduces a drive, it neg. reinforces behavior/

36
Q

Learning ( hull)

A

defined as an increase in habit strength. when a behavior successfully reduces a drive. increase in habit strength……drive reduction

37
Q

what did Hull take out of Toleman’s approach?

A

mentalism

38
Q

what did Skinner believe in about psychology ?

A

believed psychology was about predicting & controlling behavior to make society better.

39
Q

What did Skinner want to do? 3 things

A

Describe not explain
bottom up approach
experiment first and describe what happened.

40
Q

what did Skinner use as a subject?

A

Single subject! (single animal)

41
Q

Operant conditioning

A

consequences of behavior control behavior

42
Q

Law of Acquisition

A

the strength of operant behavior increases when followed by reinforcing stimulus

43
Q

reinforcer

A

anything that increases the likelihood of behavior

44
Q

punishment

A

anything that decreases the likelihood of a behavior

45
Q

positive

A

the addition of something

46
Q

negative

A

the removal of something

47
Q

schedule of reinforcement

A

rate of response varies as a function of the schedule reinforcement

48
Q

partial/ intermittent reinforcement

A

reinforcement only happen sometimes

49
Q

continuous reinforcement

A

consistent every behavior rewarded with reinforce

50
Q

Example of pos punishment

A

Spanking

51
Q

example of neg punishment

A

removable of enjoyable behavior (grounding child) taking away toys.

52
Q

Shaping

A

too complex to teach at once. reinforce partial behaviors

air cribs,( machine to out kid in.) pigeon guided missiles

54
Q

variable ratio

A

slot machine, eventually will get something out of it
