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

  1. Learningf. a long-lasting change in behavior resulting from experience

  2. Acquisitiond. This occurs after the conditioned stimulus is introduced, how one reacts to the conditioned stimulus

  3. Extinctiono. The process of unlearning a behavior acquired during classical conditioning

  4. Spontaneous Recoveryc. A conditioned response briefly reappearing after extinction

  5. Generalizationn. The tendency to respond to similar CS

  6. Discriminations. The ability to tell the difference between various stimuli

  7. Classical conditioningr. Associating neutral stimuli with reflexive, involuntary responses

  8. Unconditioned stimulusi. The original stimulus that elicits a response

  9. Unconditioned responsem. Natural, involuntary response

  10. Conditioned responsea. Learning has taken place once the animal responds to the CS without UCS

  11. Conditioned stimulusb. Neutral stimulus paired with UCS to cause CR

  12. Aversive conditioningh. Learning a negative response to the CS

  13. Second-order conditioningl. Conditioning a new response to a previously conditioned stimulus

  14. Learned taste aversiont. Developing a dislike after nausea

  15. Operant conditioningu. Learning based on associating consequences with behaviors

  16. Law of effectk. Unpleasant consequences weaken S-R connection

  17. Instrumental learningw. Reinforcers increase behavior, punishers decrease them

  18. Skinner Boxg. Apparatus with lever/disk for animals

  19. Reinforcerp. Something presented to increase behavior

  20. Positive reinforcementq. Addition of something pleasant

  21. Negative reinforcemente. Removal of something unpleasant

  22. Punishmentv. Anything that makes a behavior less likely

  23. Positive punishmentj. Addition of something unpleasant

  24. Omission training / Negative punishmentx. Removal of something pleasant


Question 2 — Matching

Column A → Column B

  1. Shapingb. Reinforces the steps used to reach the desired behavior

  2. Primary reinforcerso. Biological reinforcers (food, water, rest)

  3. Secondary reinforcersg. Learned reinforcers (praise, games, etc.)

  4. Generalized reinforcersf. Can be traded for anything

  5. Token economyi. Earn tokens to exchange for reinforcers

  6. Fixed-ratio schedulel. Reinforcement after a set number of responses

  7. Continuous reinforcementa. Rewarding a behavior every time

  8. Partial-reinforcement effectk. Behaviors become more resistant to extinction

  9. Instinctive driftn. Animals return to natural behaviors

  10. Modelingj. Learning through observing others

  11. Latent learningm. Learning becomes clear only once rewarded

  12. Insight learningh. Sudden realization of solution

  13. Fixed-interval schedulee. Requires a set time to elapse

  14. Variable-ratio scheduled. Reinforcement after varying # of responses

  15. Variable-interval schedulec. Varies the time before reward
