16
Q

Robert Rescorla and Allan Wagner

A

Sometimes classical conditioning is conscious

17
Q

John Garcia and Robert Koelling

A

Taste aversion - avoid certain foods from classical conditioning

18
Q

Operant Conditioning

A

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

19
Q

Law of Effect - Edward Thorndike

A

Reward = more behavior, consequence = less behavior

20
Q

B.F. Skinner

A

Trained pigeons to do tricks for food

21
Q

Reinforcement

A

Increase behavior

22
Q

Positive Reinforcement

A

Add + like = increase behavior

23
Q

Negative Reinforcement

A

Subtract - don’t like = increase behavior

24
Q

Primary Reinforcement

A

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

25
Q

Secondary Reinforcement

A

What we use - learned reward

26
Q

Punishment

A

Decrease behavior

27
Q

Positive Punishment

A

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

28
Q

Negative Punishment

A

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

29
Q

Shaping

A

Process of rewarding steps

30
Q

Discrimination

A

Only do one specific behavior for reward

31
Q

Extinction

A

Loss of behavior/consequence

32
Q

Schedule Reinforcement

A

When we reward/punish

33
Q

Continuous Reinforcement

A

Reward them all the time

34
Q

Partial Reinforcement

A

Reward them only sometimes

35
Q

Fixed Ratio Reinforcement

A

Set number = fixed response

36
Q

Variable Ratio Reinforcement

A

Random number = longest lasting

37
Q

Fixed Interval Reinforcement

A

Set time = causes cramming

38
Q

Variable Interval Reinforcement

A

Random time = autopilot
