Chapter 5-8 Flashcards
Pavlov and the factors that determine a CR development
- The CS and the US must be paired together in time
- The CS must consistency lead up to the occurrence of the US.
- CS must provide more reliable information
- the strength of the CS affects the strength of the CR following a CS-US pairing
- Strength of the CR is affected by the intensity of the US,CS or both
Trace conditioning
CS begins and ends before US
Simultaneous conditioning
CS and US are presented together
Backward Conditioning
least effective, US is presented and terminated before the CS
Temporal Conditioning
On schedule, no CS.
Blocking
prevention of the acquisition of a CR to a seconf stimulus
Vicarious Conditioning
modeling
respond to a stimulus after observing the experiences of others
contingency
relationship between behavior and reinforcement
environment determines this
Skinner Box
an enclosure in which an animal is maintained free from distracting stimuli and receive reinforcement for reward
Fundamental Law of Operant Conditioning
the occurrence of a operant is followed by an reinforcer then the rate of responding will increase
Shaping
slowly coaxed them into doing a desired behavior
Two types of chaining
Forward and Backward chaining
Edward Throndike and his Research
focused on animal intelligence, he would present animals with a problem and then give the problem again to see if performance was improved, and his conclusions were given behavior has one of two kinds of consequences or effects.
Examples of throndikes research
chicken in maze and puzzle box
Law of effect
the relationship between behaviors and its consequence
Barry 1958
his study was rats divided into 2 groups and one group didn’t have food for 26.5 hours and the other group for 2.5 hours the rats that didn’t have food were a longer amount of time ran faster to get to the food
Contiguity
time
Contingency Managent
1st the assessment phase
2nd contingency contracting
3rd Implementation Program
Response Cost vs Time Out
Response Cost is having a consequence because you did something and Time out is limited time that you are kept from reinforcement
Aversives
unpleasant stimuli that induces change in behavior
Azrin, Hutchinson, and McLaughlin
squirrel monkey and a ball they found that is was pleasing to agress to something after punishment
Learned Helplessness
shock seemed to teach dogs to do nothing and learned to be helpless
Learned industriousness
increases the tendencies to work hard at difficult tasks for a long period of time
Seligmans Research
prepared and contraprepared, tend to give up then fight for control
Bramel, Taub, and Blum
Their study was that people reported feeling good after being aggressive
