Term
Define conditioned stimulus
Definition
Neutral stimulus that is paired w/the unconditioned stimulus during classical conditioning
Term
Define unconditioned response
Definition
Observable response that is produced automatically prior to training, on presentation of an unconditioned stimulus
Term
Define conditioned response
Definition
Acquired response that is produced by the conditioned stimulus in anticipation of the unconditioned stimulus
Term
Define operant conditioning
Definition
Procedure for studying how organisms learn about the consequences of their own voluntary actions
Term
Define law of effect
Definition
If a response in a particular situation is followed by a satisfying consequence, it will be strengthened; unsatisfying consequence, weakens it
Term
Define reinforcement
Definition
Response consequences that increase the likelihood of responding in a similar way again
Term
Define positive reinforcement
Definition
An event, presented after a response, that increases the likelihood of that response
Term
Define negative reinforcement
Definition
Event, when removed after a response, increases the likelihood of that response
Term
Define punishment
Definition
Consequences that decrease the likelihood of responding in a similar way again
Term
Define positive punishment
Definition
Event presented after a response that lowers the likelihood of that response occurring
Term
Define negative punishment
Definition
Event removed after a response that lowers the likelihood of that response occurring
Term
Define fixed ratio
Definition
Schedule where the number of responses required for reinforcement is fixed and doesn't change
Term
Define variable ratio
Definition
Schedule where a certain number of responses are required for reinforcement, but the number typically changes
Term
Define fixed interval
Definition
Schedule where the reinforcement is delivered for the first response that occurs following a fixed interval of time
Term
Define variable interval
Definition
Schedule where the allotted time before a response will yield reinforcement; varies from trial to trial
