Chapter 6 pt. 2 Flashcards
When does classical conditioning transfer to other stimuli?
When stimulus generalization occurs
eliciting a fear response when hearing any drill, not just the original drill the fear was conditioned with
stimulus generalization
Who first described classical conditioning?
Pavlov
What are the two types of conditioning?
- classical conditioning
2. operant conditioning
Who created operant conditioning?
B.F. Skinner
occurs when an event following a response increases the organisms tendency to make that response
reinforcement
What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to acquisition?
Classical conditioning: CS and US are paired, gradually resulting in CR
Operant conditioning: Responding gradually increases because of reinforcement, possibly through shaping
What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to extinction?
Classical conditioning: CS is presented alone until it no longer elicits CR
Operant conditioning: responding gradually slows and stops after reinforcement is terminated
What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to stimulus generalization?
Classical conditioning: CR is elicited by new stimulus that resembles original CS
Operant conditioning: responding increases in the presence of new stimulus that resembles original discriminative stimulus
What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to stimulus discrimination?
Classical conditioning: CR is not elicited by new stimulus that resembles original CS
Operant conditioning: responding does not increase in the presence of new stimulus that resembles original discriminative stimulus
the final stage of learning
acquisition
the gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency
extinction
What is the difference between stimulus generalization and stimulus discrimination?
Stimulus generalization-an organism’s responding to stimuli other than the original stimulus used in conditioning.
Stimulus discrimination- an organism’s lack of response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus used in conditioning
What are the two types of reinforcement schedules?
- continuos
2. intermittent
What is the difference between ratio schedules and interval schedules?
Ratio schedules are the number of responses determines appearance of reinforcer.
Interval schedules, when timing determines appearance of reinforcer
Ratio schedules are composed of what two ratios?
- fixed ratio
2. variable ratio
Interval schedules are composed of what two intervals?
- fixed interval
2. variable interval
What is an example of a interval schedule?
a 9 to 5 job
