Cards in this deck (29)
- 1Learninga relatively permanent change in behavior brought on by experience
- 2Classical Conditioninglearning in which a neutral stimulus comes to bring about a response after it is paired with a stimulus that naturally brings about that response (Pavlov)
- 3Unconditioned Stimulus UCSstimulus that naturally brings about a particular response without having been learned
- 4Unconditioned Responseresponse that is natural and needs no training
- 5Conditioned Response CRresponse, after conditioning, that follows a previously neutral stimulus
- 6Conditioned Stimulusstimulus that was once neutral is paired with a unconditioned response that brings about a response formerly caused only by unconditioned stimulus
- 7Extinctionbasic phenomena of learning that occurs when a previously conditioned response decreases in frequency and eventually disappears
- 8Spontaneous Recoveryreemergence of extinct conditioned response after a period of rest with no further conditioning
- 9Stimulus Generalizationafter stimulus has been conditioned to produce a particular response, stimuli that are similar to original stimulus produce same response
- 10Stimulus Discriminationoccurs if two stimuli are sufficiently distinct from one another that one evokes a conditioned response but the other does not. Ability to differentiate between stimuli
- 11Operant Conditioninglearning which a voluntary response is strengthened or weakened depending on consequence
- 12Positive Reinforcerstimulus added to environment that brings about an increase in a preceding response
- 13Negative Reinfocerunpleasant stimulus, when removed, leads to an increase in the probability that a preceding response will be repeated in the future
- 14Punishmentstimulus that decreases the probability that a previous behavior will occur again
- 15B.F. Skinner Theorythe major mechanism underlying learning is reinforcement
- 16Schedules of Reinforcementdifferent patterns of frequency and timing of reinforcement following desired behavior
- 17Shapingteaching a complex behavior by rewarding closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior
- 18Continuous Reinforcementreinforcement everytime behavior occurs
- 19Intermittent/Partial Reinforcementbehavior is reinforced some of the time
- 20Fixed Ratio Schedulereinforcement is given only after a specific number of responses are made
- 21Variable Ratio Schedulereinforcement occurs after varying number of responses rather tan fixed number
- 22Fixed Interval Schedulereinforcement is provided for a response only after fixed time period has elapsed
- 23Variable Interval Scheduletime between reinforcements varies around some average rather than being fixed
- 24Behavior Modificationformalized technique for promoting desirable behavior and decreasing undesirable behavior
- 25Cognitive Learning TheoryIdea that learning focuses on though processes underlie learning
- 26Latent Learningbehavior is acquired but not demonstrated until incentive is provided for display
- 27Observational Learning/Modelinglearning by watching behavior of another person/model
- 28Albert BanduraTheorist of observational learning. Bobo doll experiment
- 29Expectationin cognitive learning people develop this about receiving a reinforce when they behave a certain way
