16
Q

extinction

A

when the conditional response goes away; conditional stimulus is presented alone and conditional response decreases

17
Q

a conditional stimulus presented alone after a rest period will elicit a conditional response this is known as

spontaneous extinction
resurgence behavior
spontaneous recovery

A

spontaneous recovery

18
Q

​Stimulus generalization

A

an animal notices similarities between two objects than starts responding to them as if they are the same thing

19
Q

Stimulus discrimination

A

an animal notices differences between two objects than starts responding to them as if they are the different things

20
Q

who created the law of effect? what is it?

A

Thorndike. consequence of behaviour

21
Q

Satisfaction

A

to associate a situation with behavior when that behavior leads to something pleasant

22
Q

Discomfort

A

we do not associate a situation with behavior when that behavior leads to something unpleasant.

23
Q

Antecedents

A

tells us something about the consequence of our actions

24
Q

Consequences

A

are stimuli that can increase or decrease the probability of future behavior.

25
three behavioral effects of extinction
Temporary increase in responding—an extinction burst Emotional and aggressive responding Responding eventually stops
26
what are reinforcers
stimulus that is presented as a consequence that it increases the behaviour
27
primary reinforcer
biologically important consequences that increases behaviour
28
secondary reinforcer
a conditioned reinforcer in which a consequence is associated with a primary reinforcer that will make behabiour more likely
