False

what was the animal that ivan pavlov used for his experiment?

dog

ivan pavlov discovered ________- in his experiment on dogs?

classical conditioning

the stimulus to which the person learns/ is conditioned to respond?

conditioned stimulus

the stimulus to which the response is expected/ natural to respond?

unconditioned stimulus

response to the unconditioned stimulus?

unconditioned response

a term from skinner -type of behavior that you can't control

respondent

response to conditioned stimulus?

conditioned response

a student is always scolded by by his professor who always wears blue shirt what was the CS, US, CR, UR

CS: blue shirt US: Scolding professor CR: FEAR TOWARDS BLUE SHIRT UR: FEAR TWARD THE PROFESSORS

the decrease in the responding that occurs when the reinforcement following the response no longer occurs?

extinction

what was stated? when the students always meet people wearing blue shirt but is treated well and nicely, he might lose his fear for blue shirt?

extinction

refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour.

classical conditioning

refers to Actions that are followed by reinforcement will be strengthened and more likely to occur again in the future.

operant conditioning

a response that operates on the environment and changes it?

operant

Law of effect was formulated by?

Edward Lee thorndike

this concept states that responses that produce a satisfying effect become more likely to occur again in that particular situation and responses that produce an unsatisfying effect become less likely to occur in that situation?

law of effect

this is the process that starts by reinforcing a behavior that is a first step toward the final behavior and then gradually reinforcing successively closer approximation to the final behavior

shaping

through this process organism acquire extremely complicated behaviors?

shaping

this is usually an aversive stimulus, which when occurring after an operant response, decreases the future likelihood of that response?

punishment

this is any stimulus that when occurs after a certain behavior increases the likelihood of future occurrence of that behavior?

reinforcement

this is the removal of an aversive stimulus that associated with a behavior and thereby increasing the likelihood of such behavior?

negative reinforcement

what was stated in the example, lifting the suspension of the student if he promises to behave properly for the remainder of his student life?

negative reinforcement

presented of any stimulus that is associated with a behavior and thereby increasing the likelihood of such behavior?

positive reinforcement

what was stated?, "Giving her chocolate if she perfect her quiz"

positive reinforcement

what was stated," being good in class and not being given homework, and taking away a child's chores because they cleaned their room."

negative reinforcement

you add an undesirable stimulus to decrease a behavior?

positive punishment

positive punishment

you remove a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior?

negative punishment

when a child misbehaves, a parent can take away a favorite toy is an example of?

negative punishment

a mere collection of behavior patterns?

personality

is a research equipment that was developed by BF Skinner? It is a chamber that contains a bar or key that an animal can press or manipulate in order to obtain food?

skinner box

this is when a reinforcement is presented on each occasion that the response is elicited?

Continuous reinforcement schedule

in this schedule the reinforcement is contingent on the interval of time?

interval reinforcement schedule

2 types of interval reinforcemnt sched?

fixed and variable

in this schedule the time interval is unchanging

fixed interval RS

a monthly review at work, a teacher giving a reward for good behavior each class, and a weekly paycheck are example of what reinforcement schedule?

fixed interval RS

this is characterized by random or intermittent time interval in the reinforcement schedule?

Variable Interval RS

For this schedule, reinforcement is determined by the number of responses and not by time interval?

ratio reinforcement schedule

the number of responses per reinforcement is unchanging in this schedule

FIXED RATION RS

a child being given candy for every 3-10 pages of a book they read IS AN EXAMPLE OF?

FIXED RATIO RS

THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES PER REINFORCEMENT IS RANDOM AND VARYING IN THIS SCHEDULE?

VARIABLE RATIO RS

LOYALTY PROGRMS, GAMBLING IS AN EXAMPLE OF ?

VARIABLE RATION RS

THIS IS THE SCHEDULE THAT IS SLOWEST TO RESULT TO CONDITIONING?

VARIABLE INTERVAL AND VARIABLE RATIO RS

THIS IS THE TYPE OF CONDITIONING IN WHICH THERE IS NO CAUSAL RELATION BETWEEN THE RESPONSE AND REINFORCER?

SUPERSTITIOUS BEHAVIOR

WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERSTITIOUS BEHAVIOR?

INTERMITTENT OR VARIABLE REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULES

stimuli that are linked to, associated to and are causing the occurrence of reinforcers and or punishments?

secondary reinforcer

stimulus discrimination

response is maintained in a new situation?

response is decreased or weakened
