Zeigarnick effect
Remember I completed tasks better than uncompleted tasks

Bx contrast
2 Bx are uniquely reinforced at equal levels then one Bx stops being reinforced

When someone loses st for misbehavior

Neg reinforcement
This is typically relief, and involves removing something disturbing in an effort to increase the behavior.
For example, a wife nags her husband to clean the garage until he finally does it. Then once the behavior is performed the nagging stops.
e.g., giving time outs that work
Pos punishment
This is typically something painful (either emotionally or physically), and involves adding something aversive or unwanted in order to decrease the behavior from occurring again. For example giving a child a spanking, extra chores, or scolding are all positive punishment.
Adler
Parenting
Skinner
Reinforcement
hypnosis
produces more false memories with a high degree of confidence
expectancy theory
Vroom
ppl behave based on perceived expectancy that rewards will follow
two factor theory
Herzberg
increasing employee responsibilities will result in increased satisfaction and performance
equity theory
ratio of self-input/self outcomes vs. other input/other outcome based on social comparison theory
Continuous Reinforcement
when a reinforcement is given each and every time a behavior occurs.
Intermittent Reinforcment:
Rather than being reinforced on every occurrence of the behavior, the reinforcement is only given every once in a while
Fixed Ratio
After a certain unchanging amount of responses a reinforcement is given
moderate to high effectiveness, and often results in a pause or break after receiving the reinfor
Variable Ratio:
After a unpredictable number of responses a reinforcement is given. For example playing the slot machines,
very effective
Fixed Interval
After a set amount of time has elapsed, the first time the behavior occurs it is reinforced and the interval is reset. For example, you are able to pick up your paycheck after you work shift every 2 weeks. This typically has limited effectiveness for productivity
Variable Interval
After a variable amount of time has passed, the first time the behavior occurs it is reinforced and the interval is reset. If the subject is unaware of this interval it is moderately effective in reinforcing a behavior. For example every now and then after variable amounts of time a child is rewarded with ice cream for good behavior.
Stimulus Generalization
When a subject emits the target behavior in front of stimuli that is similar to but not
the same as the stimuli originally used for reinforcement. For example a child learns to raise there hand in school, and so they raise there hand in all setting with an instructor such as swimming lessons.
Response Generalization
A similar behavior yet not exactly the same one is elicited in an attempt to be reinforced. For example a child shares their vegetable with their sibling expecting reinforcement after the behavior of sharing toys has been reinforced.
