6.2 - Operant conditioning
Cards in this deck (12)
- 1Operant conditioningType of learning in which behaviour is determined by consequences
- rewards, punishment - 2ContingentConsequence depends on an action
- 3ReinforcementEvent/reward follows a response that increases the likelihood of that response occurring again
- 4Law of effect- Edward Thorndike
- Responses followed by satisfaction will occur again, not followed by satisfaction will become less likely - 5ReinforcerStimulus that is contingent upon a response, increases probability that a response will occur again
- 6PunishmentProcess that decreases the response
- 7PunisherStimulus that is contingent upon a response, decreases behaviour
- 82 subcategories of negative reinforcement- avoidance learning
- escape learning - 9Avoidance learningNegative reinforcement that removes the possibility (prevents) of a stimulus occurring
- 10Escape learningOccurs if a response removes a stimulus already present
- 11ShapingProcedure in which a specific operant response is created by reinforcing successive approximations of that response
- done step by step until desired response is learned - 12Partial reinforcement effectOrganisms that have been conditioned under partial reinforcement resist extinction longer than those conditioned under continuous reinforcement
