Respondent / Operant

Question 1

Respondent behavior

Answer 1

Respondent behavior is behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli. Respondent behavior is induced, or brought out, by a stimulus that precedes the behavior; nothing else is required for the response to occur.

Question 2

Formerly neutral stimuli can acquire the ability to elicit respondents through a learning process called

Answer 2

Respondent conditioning

Question 3

Stimulus to Stimulus Pairing

Answer 3

2 stimuli are presented at the same time repeatedly for a number of trials which often results in one stimulus acquiring the function of the other

Question 4

US

Answer 4

Unconditioned stimulus - a stimulus component of an unconditioned reflex-a stimulus change that elicits respondent behavior without any prior learning

Question 5

NS

Answer 5

Neutral Stimulus - a stimulus change that does not elicit respondent behavior

Question 6

CS

Answer 6

Conditioned Stimulus - a stimulus component of a conditioned reflex - a formally neutral stimulus change that elicits respondent behavior only after it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus or another CS

Question 7

Conditioned Reflex

Answer 7

A learned stimulus-response functional relation consisting of an antecedent stimulus and the response it elicits

Question 8

Ontogeny

Answer 8

History of interactions with the environment

Question 9

respondent extinction

Answer 9

The procedure of repeatedly presenting a conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus until the conditioned stimulus no longer elicits the conditioned response is called respondent extinction

Question 10

Operant conditioning “

Answer 10

Operant conditioning refers to the process and selective effects of consequences on behavior.10 From an operant conditioning perspective, a functional consequence is a stimulus change that follows a given response closely in time and alters the occurrence of similar responses in the future. “

Question 11

• Respondent extinction:

Answer 11

• Respondent extinction: conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presentedwithout the unconditioned stimulus

Question 12

Operant Behavior

Answer 12

• Operant Behavior: any behavior whose FUTURE frequency is determinedprimarily by its history of consequences* Operant behavior is selected, shaped, and maintained by consequences thathave followed in the pastRespondent behavior is immediate. Operant is over time.

Question 13

Operant Conditioning

Answer 13

• Operant conditioning: process and selective effects of consequences onfuture behavior* Reinforcer: a stimulus change that increases the future frequency of behavior thatimmediately precedes it* Punisher: a stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior thatimmediately precedes it
