Definition
Thorndike's response to cognitive explanations
Term
Thorndike's Law of Effect
Definition
Behaviors resulting in pleasing consequences get repeated. Behaviors with unpleasing consequences dont.
Term
Operant conditioning (definition)
Definition
responses as operating on the environment to produce some result (a consequence)
Term
The Skinner boxes, bar/ lever presses and rate of response
Definition
measure cumulative rate of respones
Term
Free operants
Definition
vs discrete trials
Term
Reinforcer
Definition
a consequence of a response which increases that response in the future
Term
Punisher
Definition
A consequence of a response which decreases that response in the future
Term
Operational definition
Definition
defining a variable in terms of how its measured
Term
Negative (interms of reinforcement)
Definition
to take away stimulus
Term
Negative reinforcer (Is used for what?)
Definition
escape and avoidance
Term
negative punisher
Definition
penalties something is taken away
Term
Positive (interms of reinforcement)
Definition
Presentation of stimulus
Term
Positive Reinforcers
Definition
stimulus it given to increase response
Term
Positive punishment
Definition
Stimulus is given to decrease response
Term
Primary reinforcers
Definition
Typically biological drives,Innate. require no special training to be reinforced or are reinforced from birth
Term
Secondary reinforcers
Definition
Acquired reinforcing abilities through experience. also known as general reinforcers. Saitey is not a problem
Term
Extinction
Definition
Breaking the association made through conditioning
Term
Traditional extinction method
Definition
Response is no longer followed by the previous consequence
Term
Second Option for causing extinction
Definition
continue to present previous consequence but no longer make it contingent upon the response
Term
Superstitious behavior
Definition
we think the action has an effect on the consequence
Term
zoosterotopy
Definition
stereotyical behaviors done by animals in a zoo they think cause food
Term
Shaping
Definition
Take a behavior that approximates desired behavior and change it, reinforce changes in the behavior that make it more like the desired behavior
Term
The term extinction is applied to this #1

Term
Indirect Method of Suppression #2 DRL
Definition
Differential reinforcement of low rates of behavior
Term
Extinction In operant conditioning
Definition
W/holding the reinforcement that had previously been given
Term
The course of extinction
Definition
depends on the schedule of reinforcement
Term
The two aspects of extinction that are effected by prior reinforcement schedule
Definition
How long it takes for the behavior to extinguish and the likelihood of an extinction burst
Term
Typical extinction course
Definition
An extinction burst followed by a gradual decrease
Term
Extinction burst represents two aspects of behavior #1
Definition
A temporary increase in the frequency of previously reinforced behavior
Term
Extinction burst represents two aspects of behavior #2
Definition
An increase in overall variability of behavior
Term
