Positive Reinforcement
add a desirable stimulus
Negative Reinforcement
remove an aversive stimulus
Learning
a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience
Associative Learning
linking 2 events that occur close together in time
Respondent Behavior
occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus
Extinction
diminished conditioned response when unconditional stimulus no longer follows conditional stimulus
Spontaneous Recovery
reappearance of weakened conditioned response after pause
Generalization
tendency to respond to stimuli similar to conditional stimulus
Discrimination
learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus
Operant Conditioning
associate a response (behavior) and its consequences
Law of Effect
stated that rewarded behavior is likely to recur
Continuous Reinforcement
the desired response is reinforced every time it occurs
Partial Reinforcement
responses are sometimes reinforced and sometimes not reinforced
Fixed-Ratio Schedules
reinforced behavior after a set number of responses
Variable-Ratio Schedules
reinforce behavior after an unpredictable number of responses
Fixed-Interval Schedules
reinforced behavior after a fixed time period
Variable-Interval Schedules
reinforce the first response after varying time intervals
Immediate Reinforcer
reinforcer that occurs closely to a behavior in time
Delayed Reinforcer
reinforcer that is delayed in time for a certain behavior
Punishment
an adverse event that decreases the behavior that it follows
Positive Punishment
administer an adverse stimulus
Negative Punishment
withdraw a desirable stimulus
Latent Learning
learning that becomes apparent only when there is an incentive to demonstrate it
Cognitive Map
mental representation of the physical features in the environment
Observational Learning
learning by observing others, imitating models, without direct experience
Modeling
observing and imitating specific behaviors
Mirror Models
neurons in frontal lobe that fire when performing certain actions or observing others perform those actions
_____ was the scientist whose experiment with dogs led to the discovery of classical conditioning.
Ivan Pavlov
_____ behavior produces events in the environment, whereas respondent behavior occurs as an automatic response to a stimulus.
operant
Classical and operant conditioning involve learning by linking events; that is, conditioning involves learning by _____.
association
In classical conditioning, the _____ stimulus naturally and automatically triggers a response.
unconditioned
Learning that occurs internally and is expressed behaviorally only when there is sufficient incentive to do so is called _____ learning.
latent
