Q

classical conditioning

A

pavlov noticed that dogs salivated when seeing food

Q

Shaping

A

procedure where reinforcers are gradually given to God actions toward a desirable behavior

24
Q

Chaining

A

breaks a task down into small steps and then teaches each step within the sequence by itself

25
Q

Reinforcing stimulus

A

Any event that strengthens were increases their behavior it follows

26
Q

Positive reinforcement

A

Favorable events or outcomes that are present in after the behavior the behavior of strengthened by the addition of something

27
Q

Negative reinforcement

A

Removal of uncomfortable outcome after this via behavior response is strengthened by removal of something considered unpleasant

28
Q

Primary reinforcement

A

Naturally favorable or desirable consequences

29
Q

Secondary reinforcers

A

Need to be learned and can be used to obtain primary reinforcer’s

30
Q

Token reinforcer

A

Symbols are tokens I can be exchanged for other reinforcers

31
Q

Punishing stimulus

A

Punishment is the presentation of an adverse event or outcome that causes a decrease in the behavior it follows

32
Q

Positive punishment

A

Adding an unfavorable outcome in order to weaken the response

33
Q

Negative punishment

A

Occurs when an event or outcome is removed

34
Q

Over justification affect

A

Phenomenon where being rewarded actually diminishes intrinsic motivation

35
Q

Schedules of reinforcement

A

A pattern that defines how often are desired response will be in reinforced

36
Q

Continuous reinforcement

A

Desired behavior is reinforced each and every time it occurs this creates rapid acquisition and creates a strong association between behavior in response also rapid extinction

37
Q

Partial reinforcement

A

The responses are reinforced only part of the time this has the most affect once a behavior has already been established

38
Q

Fixed

A

Number of behaviors or length of time intervals is constant

39
Q

Variable

A

Number of behaviors or time interval is variable 

40
Q

Ratio

A

Amount of responses

41
Q

interval 

A

Based on time

42
Q

Fixed ratio schedule

A

Response is reinforced only after a specific number of responses this has a high response right but irregular responding once reinforcement is

43
Q

Variable ratio schedule

A

Responses reinforce after an unpredictable number of responses the learners rate of response remains constant but not effective for teaching new behaviors

44
Q

Fixed interval schedules

A

first response is rewarded after specific time elapsed response more frequently as reward time comes

45
Q

Variable interval schedules

A

Occur when I responses rewarded after unpredictable amount of time has passed they stay responding minimal pause after reinforcement

46
Q

Observational learning

A

Learn through watching others retaining information and replicating the behaviors

47
Q

Social learning theory

A

Modeling and vicarious reinforcement

48
Q

Mirror neurons

A

fire both win we do behavior and when we watch behavior

49
Q

Albert bandura And the Bobo doll

A

Demonstrated that young children with it imitate the violent and aggressive actions of an adult model

50
Q

Cognition in conditioning

A

Researcher start conditioning was involuntary response is to environment now believe there’s some information processing conditioning

51
Q

Latent learning

A

One can learn some thing but not sure behavior right away organisms form cognitive maps which are mental representations to acquire store and recall information in their environment

52
Q

Insight learning

A

A sudden realization of problem solution that just came to you

53
Q

The pre-Mac principle

A

A person will perform a less desirable activity in order to perform the more desirable activity as a consequence

54
Q

Martin seligman

A

Dogs in a cage with partially electrified floor the dogs are able to work a lever and learn to jump over there to escape shock

55
Q

Learned helplessness

A

mental state where an organism continues to experience a painful unpleasant or aversive stimulus
Organism becomes help us because they have learned that regardless of their actions they have no ability to change the outcome
