Chapter 4 Flashcards
stimuli that naturally causes a reaction
Unconditioned stimuli
Natural repose to stimuli
Unconditioned response
Stimuli that would not normally cause a response
Neutral stimuli
Neutral stimuli eventually becomes _____
Conditioned stimuli
rewards and punishments for behaviours. Consequence is important.
Operant conditioning
add/remove stimuli to increase behaviour
Reinforcement
add/remove stimuli to decrease behaviour
Punishment
individuals influence their own motivation, development and behavior
Poses free will
Reciprocal determinism
watch another persons actions
observational learning
watching someone perform an a behaviour and copying it
modeling
powerful internal self-regulation process.
belief that if you preform the desired behaviour you will behave desired result
Self-Efficacy
another exceeding at the same task
vircarious experience
shadowing of person with high success at the task
Participant modeling
the likelihood of a specific behavior (response) occurring in a specific situation
behavioral potential
if the outcome of the situation is repeatedly reinforced (positively or negatively) we develop confidence in those expectancies.
The more people are reinforced for a given behavior, the stronger the expectancy that the behavior will be repeated and receive more reinforcements.
Reinforcement value
how do we predict behaviors in new situations based on previous experiences?
Expectancy value
The beliefs in how our actions may lead to reward or punishment
Locus of Control
people who believe that what happens to them is a result of their own actions. They are responsible for things than happen in their lives. Wouldn’t blame other people/things. Take responsibility for their own actions.
Internal orientation
believes that what happens is a result of forces outside of their own control
External orientation
We use expectancies to calculate behavioral potential
Generalized Expectancies
