21
Q

components of shaping

A
  • successive approximation
  • differential reinforcement
22
Q

the experimenter or the environment gradually shapes the final complex set of behaviors

A

successive approximation

23
Q

any consequence that increases the likelihood of a response

A

reinforcement

24
Q

2 effects of reinforcement

A
  • strengthens the behavior
  • rewards the person
25
any stimulus that, when **added** to a situation, increases the probability that a given behavior will occur
positive reinforcement
26
**removal** of an aversive stimulus from a situation also increases the probability that the preceding behavior will occur
negative reinforcment
27
presentation of an aversive stimulus
punishment
28
environmental stimuli that are not, by nature, satisfying but become so because they are associated with such unlearned or primary reinforces
conditioned stimulus
29
associated with more than one primary reinforces
generalized reinforces
30
schedules of reinforcement
- continuous schedule - intermittent schedule
31
reinforcement depends on a **number of responses**, hence the o**rganism will tend to respond faster**
ratio schedule
32
reinforcement is dependent on **time**, hence the **organism will tend to pause after a reward**
fixed schedule
33
reinforcement appears **irregularly**, hence the **organism will keep going at a steady rate**
variable schedule
