thorndikes aim

to examine the influence of reinforcemnt on cats behaviour,

skinner box aim

to study the relationship between behavour and its consequences, particularly how reinforcemnt and punishement influence the rate of response

spontaneous recovery

reapearance of a previously extinct cr after the ucs has been absent

stimulus discimination

stimulus does not elicit the response because its different enought from the original

extinction

the response fades away because the association is broken

stimulus generalisation

when the stimulus similar to the condtiioned stimulus cayses the same response

pavlovs dogs aim

to investigate wether a neutral stimulus can be associated with a reflexive response throguh repeated pairings

what is an antecedent

the enviorment or trigger beofre the behaviour occurs

what is the behaviour part of the abcs

the voluntary action or response

what is cosneqyence

the event after the behviour that makes it more or less likely to happen again

what is continuous reinforcement

reinforcement is given after every single correct response

what is partial reinforcement

reinfrocement is given some of the time

what is fixed ratio

reward after a set number of responses

what is variable ratio

reward after an unpredictable number of responses

what is fixed interval

reward after a set amount of time

what is variable interval

reward after an unpredictable amount of time

what is social learning theory

that behaviour is learned from the enviorment through the process of observational learning. individuals observe the behaviour of models and later imitate these behaviour.

vicarious reinforcement

learning through someone elses rewards or punishment

process of observational learning

attention,retention, reproduction motivatinm reinforcement

what is classical conditioning

a form of learning where an existing reflec response is elicted by a repaited pairing of two unrelated stimulus

what is operant conditioning

a form of learning whereby the consequence of
behaviour determines whether it will be repeated or not

what is observational learning

where a leaner watches a model, notices the consequence of the behaviour, then decides wether they will imitate their behaviour

what is a token economy

behaviour modification
based on operant conditioning, where a
symbolic reinforcer is used to encourage a
particular behaviour
