27
Q

Learning depends on what happens after the response: _____

A

the consquence

28
Q

A

Reinforcement

29
Q

any reinforcer that is naturally reinforcing by meeting a basic biological need

A

Primary reinforcer

30
Q

any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing after being paired with with a primary reinforcer, such as praise, tokens, or gold stars

A

Secondary Reinforcer

31
Q

The reinforcement of a response by the addition or experience of a pleasurable stimulus

A

Positive Reinforcement

32
Q

the reinforcement of a response by the removal, escape from, or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus

A

Negative Reinforcement

33
Q

a response that is reinforced after some—but not all— correct responses tends to be very resistant to extinction

38
Q

Schedule of reinforcement in which the number of responses required for reinforement is different for each trial or event

A

Variable Ratio

39
Q

any object or event thsy, when following a response, makes that response less likely to happen again

A

Punishment

40
Q

the punishment of a response by the addition or experiencing of an unpleasant stimulus

Punishment by application

41
Q

the puishment of a response by the removal of a pleasurable stimulus

A

Punishment by removal

42
Q

may cause avoidance of thr punisher instead of the bahavior being punished

Motivation

63
Q

(an element of observational learning)

to learn anything through observation, the learner must first pay attention to the model
