Q

A neutral object comes to elicit a response when it is associated with a stimulus that already produces that response (learning that a stimulus creates another stimulus)

20
Q

The difference between the expected and actual outcomes

A

Prediction Error

21
Q

The presence of an unexpected event or stronger version of the expected stimulus than anticipated. Strengthens the association between the CS and the US

A

Positive Prediction Error

22
Q

An expected event does not happen. Weakens the US-CS association

A

Negative Prediction Error

23
Q

Learning that occurs when stimuli that are similar but not identical to the conditioned stimulus, produce the conditioned response.

A

Stimulus Generalization

24
Q

A differentiation between two similar stimuli when only one of them is consistently associated with the unconditioned stimulus

A

Stimulus Discrimination

25
Q

CS becomes associated with other stimuli associated with the US; this phenomenon helps account for the complexity of learned associations.

A

Second-Order Conditioning

26
Q

Any behavior that leads to a “satisfying state of affairs” is likely to occur again, and any behavior that leads to an “annoying state of affairs” is less likely to occur again

A

Law of Effect

27
Q

A psychological approach that emphasizes environmental influences on observable behaviours

A

Behaviourism

28
Q

the administration of a stimulus to increase the probability of a behavior being repeated (adding to increase)

A

Positive reinforcement

29
Q

the removal of a stimulus to increase the probability of a behavior being repeated (taking away to increase)

A

Negative reinforcement

30
Q

the administration of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior recurring (adding to decrease)

A

Positive punishment

31
Q

the removal of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior recurring (taking away to decrease)

A

Negative punishment

32
Q

An operant-conditioning technique that consists of reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior

A

Shaping

33
Q

Start with any behavior that even slightly resembles the desired behavior

A

Successive approximations

34
Q

A reinforcer that satisfies biological needs

A

Primary reinforcer

35
Q

A reinforcer that does not satisfy biological needs

A

Secondary reinforcer

36
Q

Using a more valued activity can reinforce the performance of a less valued activity

A

Premack Principle

37
Q

Tendency to discount the value of a reward when it is given after a delay

A

Temporal Discounting

38
Q

A type of learning in which behavior is
reinforced each time it occurs

A

Continuous reinforcement

39
Q

A type of learning in which behavior is
reinforced intermittently

A

Partial reinforcement

40
Q

Reinforcement is based on the number of times the behavior occurs

A

Ratio Schedule

41
Q

Reinforcement is provided after a specific unit of time

A

Interval Schedule

42
Q

Reinforcement is provided after a specific number of occurrences or after a specific amount of time

A

Fixed Schedule

43
Q

Reinforcement is provided at different rates or different times

A

Variable Schedule

44
Q

The association between eating a food and getting sick

A

Conditioned taste aversion

45
Q

An acquired fear out of proportion to the real threat of an object or of a situation

A

Phobia

46
Q

The acquisition or modification of a behavior after exposure to another individual performing that behavior

A

Social Learning

47
Q

The imitation of observed behavior

A

Modeling

48
Q

Learning the consequences of an action by watching others being rewarded or punished for performing the same action

A

Vicarious Learning

49
Q

The principle that any conditioned stimulus paired with any unconditioned stimulus should result in learning

A

Equipotentiality
