Chp7 Flashcards
Elicits (a response) (food)
Unconditioned stimulus
Elicits no response (bell)
Neutral Stimulus
(Dog salivates) naturally happens wasn’t taught
Unconditioned response
Bell which was taught
Conditioned stimulus
Salivation from bell
Conditioned response
Happens after the bell with presentation of food over time so the ringing of the bell now elicits salvation from dog
Classical conditioning
Something that is presented (bell)
Stimulus
Explain Pavlov’s experiment with dogs
He was able to use a bell which was a neutral stimulus and make it into a conditioned stimulus
Learner reacts to a particular object/situation in the same way that he/she reacts to the one that resembles the object/situation
Generalization
When a child is born and hears every female be called mommy so they think everyone is mommy is exp of
Generalization
Process in which the learner is trained to distinguish between similar but distinct stimuli
Discrimination
Gradual elimination of learned response when the USC (fish reward) is taken away
Extinction
Dog stops salivating in response to bell when no food is presented is exp of
Extinction
Reoccurrence/reappearance of a learned behavior after extinction
Spontaneous recovery
Dog may choose to do a trick a week after extinction to see if reward might follow is exp of
Spontaneous recovery
Describe Garcias experiment with taste aversion
Experiment about rats was given sweet taste/sugar water and radiation that caused nausea and therefore they formed a taste diversion of the sweet taste/sugar water
Describe the Little Albert experiment
Created a fear response by combining a white rat with the loud noise making the baby scared to the white rat
Learn to do or not do things based on the consequences of the behavior
Operant conditioning
When you drive past a red light you know you could get a ticket or cause a accident this is a exp of
Operant conditioning
Continuous or partial reinforcer of behavior
Schedule of reinforcement
Rewards and compliments for doing a good job is exp of
Schedules of reinforcement
You continue to do it every time
Continuous reinforcement
You don’t do it all the time
Partial reinforcement
Using reinforcers to guide an organisms actions toward a desired behavior
Shaping
Your shipping through
Successive approximation
Potty training your child is exp of
Shaping
Consequences that increases probability that responses preceding it will be repeated
Reinforcers
Increases the likelihood that the positive behavior will be repeated/continued
Positive Reinforcer
Giving someone a praise, money or candy is example of
Positive reinforcer
Strengthens response by removing an unpleasant consequence
Negative response
Rocking a baby to stop it from crying or taking aspirin to alleviate pain is example of
Negative response
Reinforced 1st response then have to wait a fixed period of time
Fixed schedule
Knowing when you get paid is example of
Fixed schedule
Unpredictable/rewarded at varying times
Variable schedule
Slot machines and lottery tickets are exp of
Variable schedule
Biological makeup of organism (satisfying)
Primary reinforcer
Satisfying things like food, water, sex and sleep
Primary reinforcer
Acquire value through association (condition reinforcer)
Secondary reinforcer
Money is exp of
Secondary reinforcer
What effect does punishment have on behavior?
Decreases the chance that the behavior will occur again
Detention for tardiness is example of
Effect that punishment have on behavior
To give, add or present more
Positive punishment
If you didn’t wash the dishes for one night your given the rest of the week to do them now is example of
Positive punishment
Lost of privileges, to take away, subtract or remove
Negative punishment
Went over curfew of when car was suppose to be home so parents take the car away is exp of
Negative punishment
A mental representation in the brain of the layout of an environment and its features(clues)
Cognitive map
Latent learning- Edward Goldman is exp of
Cognitive map
Explain the Bobo Doll
A role model was aggressive to a blow up Bobo Doll as a child watched and them the child imitated the same behavior of beating up Bobo Doll
Person who engages in response that is imitated
Modeling
Learning from each other, acquire skills by observing others (Bandura)
Observational learning
