Pysch Chapter Four Flashcards
US
food presented to the dog
NS
becomes the conditioned stimulus (sometimes) (bell)
UR
dog salivating to food
CR
dog salivating to the bell
higher-order/second-order conditioning
1) pair a second stimulus to the conditioned stimulus and get a conditioned response
2) that added stimulus will now be all it takes to receive the CR
acquisition
initial learning in classical conditioning. NS starts to be connected to a US producing the CR
extinction
over time, the strength of that conditioned response lessens
spontaneous - recovery
over time, the CR will randomly pop up again and be spontaneous
operant conditioning
a form of learning in where the stimulus happens after the behavior is presented (the skinner box, a rat presses a lever and gets food)
4 types of operant conditioning
positive punishment
ADDING something to DECREASE a behavior
4 types of operant conditioning
positive reinforcement
ADDING something to INCREASE a behavior
4 types of operant conditioning
negative punishment
TAKING SOMETHING AWAY to DECREASE a behavior
4 types of operant conditioning
negative reinforcement
TAKING SOMETHING AWAY to INCREASE a behavior
4 schedules of reinforcement
fixed interval
behavior is rewarded after a set amount of time
4 schedules of reinforcement
fixed ratio
set of responses has to occur before behavior is rewarded
