Question 18

Operant Conditioning

Answer 18

Learn from rewards/consequences. Different from CC = behavior happens

Law of Effect - Edward Thorndike

Answer 19

Reward = more behavior, consequence = less behavior

Question 20

Answer 20

Trained pigeons to do tricks for food

Question 21

Reinforcement

Answer 21

Increase behavior

Question 22

Positive Reinforcement

Answer 22

Add + like = increase behavior

Question 23

Negative Reinforcement

Answer 23

Subtract - don’t like = increase behavior

Question 24

Primary Reinforcement

Answer 24

What we use - automatic reward, food, sleep, and money

Question 25

Secondary Reinforcement

Answer 25

What we use - learned reward

Question 26

Punishment

Answer 26

Decrease behavior

Question 27

Positive Punishment

Answer 27

Behavior leads to undesirable event: Add + don't like = decrease behavior

Question 28

Negative Punishment

Answer 28

Behavior ends a desirable state or event: Subtract - like = decrease behavior

Shaping

Answer 29

Reward them all the time

Question 34

Partial Reinforcement

Answer 34

Reward them only sometimes

Question 35

Fixed Ratio Reinforcement

Answer 35

Set number = fixed response

Question 36

Variable Ratio Reinforcement

Answer 36

Random number = longest lasting

Question 37

Fixed Interval Reinforcement

Answer 37

Set time = causes cramming

Question 38

Variable Interval Reinforcement

Answer 38

Random time = autopilot
