AP PSYCH chapter 6 learning
Here are the correct matches for both sets.
(I formatted them cleanly so you can copy/paste your answers.)
✅ Question 1 — Matching
Column A → Column B
Learning → f. a long-lasting change in behavior resulting from experience
Acquisition → d. This occurs after the conditioned stimulus is introduced, how one reacts to the conditioned stimulus
Extinction → o. The process of unlearning a behavior acquired during classical conditioning
Spontaneous Recovery → c. A conditioned response briefly reappearing after extinction
Generalization → n. The tendency to respond to similar CS
Discrimination → s. The ability to tell the difference between various stimuli
Classical conditioning → r. Associating neutral stimuli with reflexive, involuntary responses
Unconditioned stimulus → i. The original stimulus that elicits a response
Unconditioned response → m. Natural, involuntary response
Conditioned response → a. Learning has taken place once the animal responds to the CS without UCS
Conditioned stimulus → b. Neutral stimulus paired with UCS to cause CR
Aversive conditioning → h. Learning a negative response to the CS
Second-order conditioning → l. Conditioning a new response to a previously conditioned stimulus
Learned taste aversion → t. Developing a dislike after nausea
Operant conditioning → u. Learning based on associating consequences with behaviors
Law of effect → k. Unpleasant consequences weaken S-R connection
Instrumental learning → w. Reinforcers increase behavior, punishers decrease them
Skinner Box → g. Apparatus with lever/disk for animals
Reinforcer → p. Something presented to increase behavior
Positive reinforcement → q. Addition of something pleasant
Negative reinforcement → e. Removal of something unpleasant
Punishment → v. Anything that makes a behavior less likely
Positive punishment → j. Addition of something unpleasant
Omission training / Negative punishment → x. Removal of something pleasant
✅ Question 2 — Matching
Column A → Column B
Shaping → b. Reinforces the steps used to reach the desired behavior
Primary reinforcers → o. Biological reinforcers (food, water, rest)
Secondary reinforcers → g. Learned reinforcers (praise, games, etc.)
Generalized reinforcers → f. Can be traded for anything
Token economy → i. Earn tokens to exchange for reinforcers
Fixed-ratio schedule → l. Reinforcement after a set number of responses
Continuous reinforcement → a. Rewarding a behavior every time
Partial-reinforcement effect → k. Behaviors become more resistant to extinction
Instinctive drift → n. Animals return to natural behaviors
Modeling → j. Learning through observing others
Latent learning → m. Learning becomes clear only once rewarded
Insight learning → h. Sudden realization of solution
Fixed-interval schedule → e. Requires a set time to elapse
Variable-ratio schedule → d. Reinforcement after varying # of responses
Variable-interval schedule → c. Varies the time before reward
If you want, I can also turn these into flashcards, a study guide, or a practice quiz.
