Question 1

Learning that soon events occur together. The events may be two stimuli, As in classical conditioning, or response and its consequences, as in operant conditioning

Answer 1

associative learning

Question 2

any event or situation that evokes a response

Answer 2

stimulus

Question 3

The acquisition of mental information, Whether by observing events, by watching others, or through

Answer 3

Cognitive learning

Question 4

A type of learning in which we learn to link to our more stimuli and anticipate events

Answer 4

classical conditioning

Question 5

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that evokes no response before conditioning

Answer 5

neutral stimulus

Question 6

in classical conditioning, and unlearned, naturally occurring response, such as salivation, to an unconditioned stimulus, such as food in the mountains

Answer 6

unconditioned response

Question 7

in a classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically-triggers a response

Answer 7

unconditioned stimulus

Question 8

in classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral, but now condition, stimulus

Answer 8

conditioned response

Question 9

in classical conditioning and originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response

Answer 9

conditioned stimulus

Question 10

in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when the link a neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response, (and operant conditioning in the strengthening of a reinforced response)

Answer 10

acquisition

Question 11

in classical conditioning, the weakening of a conditioned response when unconditional stimulus is not follow a conditioned stimulus. In operant conditioning, the weakening of a response reinforced.

Answer 11

extinction

Question 12

The reappearance after a pause of an extinguished conditioned

Answer 12

spontaneous recovery

Question 13

in classical conditioning, the tendency, after conditioning, to respond similarly to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus

Answer 13

generalization

Question 14

in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other irrelevant stimulus

Answer 14

discrimination

Question 15

behavior that occurs as an autonomic response to some stimulus

Answer 15

respondent behavior

Question 16

The type of learning in which behavior is strengthened it followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed bayo punisher

Answer 16

uperant conditioning

Question 17

behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences

Answer 17

operant behavior

Question 18

Dorn Dykes principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely

Answer 18

Law of affect

Question 19

in operant conditioning a research, the chamber also known as a skinner box containing a bar or key animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer; attached devices record the animals rate of bars pressing or key pecking

Answer 19

operant chamber

Question 20

in operant conditioning a, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows

Answer 20

reinforcement

Question 21

increases behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforcer is anything that, was presented after response, strengthens the response.

Answer 21

positive reinforcement

Question 22

increases behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforcer is anything bad, when removed after a response, strengthens the response. Note: negative reinforcement is not punishment.

Answer 22

negative reinforcement

Question 23

an event that is and they believe reinforcing, Often by satisfying the biological need

Answer 23

primary reinforcer

Question 24

The process of acquiring, experience, and relatively enduring information behaviors

Answer 24

learning
