drug use

A

environmental cues associated with drug use can become CS
can produce CR of drug craving
need higher dosages for effects cause build tolerance

Q

Sexual Arousal

A

environmental cues (places, smells, clothing)
can become associated with experience
can have role in experiences

20
Q

Shaping

A

reinforcement any movement towards desired response
skinner box ; cumulate recorder
shaping = rewarding successive approximative toward desired response

21
Q

B.F skinner

A

box

everytime rats hit bar they got a treat

22
Q

Superstitions behaviour

A

individual believes connection exists between act and consequences
no relationship between act and consequence
gambling,

23
Q

Generalization

A

response made to reinforcer similar to one conditioning original response

24
Q

Discrimination

A

learning to distinguish between stimulus reinforced and other similar stimuli
pigeon rewarded for pecking only yellow disk (discriminate stimulus)

25
Q

reinforcement positive

A

pleasant or desireable

26
Q

reinforcement consequences

A

increases probability of response to occur again if applied after response

27
Q

reinforcement negative

A

behaviour likely to occur again because followed by ending aversive condition

28
Q

Primary reinforces

A

fulfill physical need for survival
do not depend on learning
food water sleep sex

29
Q

secondary reinforces

A

acquired or learned by association with other reinforcers money praise grades awards

30
Q

continuous reinforcement

A

reinforce every correct response

most effective way to condition new responses

31
Q

partial reinforcement

A

portion of correct responses are reinforced

schedules of reinforcement

32
Q

fixed ratio schedule

A

reinforcement given after fixed number of correct responses

33
Q

variable ratio schedule

A

reinforcement after varying number of correct responses

34
Q

Fixed interval schedule

A

reinforcement given after specific time interval passed

35
Q

Variable interval schedule

A

reinforcement after varying amounts of time

36
Q

Factors in operant conditioning

A

magnitude of reinforcement
immediacy of reinforcement
level of motivation of learner

37
Q

Punishment

A
removal of pleasant stimulus 
application of unpleasant stimulus
both tied to suppress a response
most effective during misbehaviour or asap after
should not be done in anger 
apply consistency
minimum necessary to suppress behaviour
38
Q

Escape learning

A

behaviour terminates aversive event

39
Q

avoidance learning

A

avoid events or conditions associated with dreaded or aversive outcomes
drinking and driving associated with car accidents and death

40
Q

Learned helplessness

A

passive resignation to aversive conditioning
repeated exposure to aversive inescapable unavoidable events
learner does not try to change escape avoid aversive condition
learn to stand helplessly and suffer punishment

41
Q

comparing classical and operant conditioning

A

generalization
discrimination
extinction
spontaneous recovery

42
Q

behaviour modification

A

changing behaviour through systematic program based on principles of learning

43
Q

Token economy

A

motivates socially desirable behaviour by reinforcing with tokens
tokens can be exchanged for desired items by priviledges

44
Q

Observation learning

A

cognitive processes mental processes thinking knowing

learning by observation and imitation behaviour

45
Q

model/ modeling

A

person who demonstrates behaviour or whose behaviour is imitated

46
