recieving somethin and you stop recieveing it. its stops the behavior
Definition
example of extinction
Term
Competing Behavior
Definition
Behavior that can not be done at the same time as another behaviorthat is said to to compete with it.
Term
Modeling Behavior
Definition
Copy what one sees andother doing. can be used to introduce a behavior that is not in ones beahvioral repertoire

Extinction
Term
imediate???? count more than big ?????
Definition
Consequences
Term
Thinking bout now instead of later. future nt here so why bother.
Definition
example of consequences
Term
Concepts to know:
Definition
Extinction
MOdeling
Shaping
Competing
Term
Shaping
Definition
selective reinforce of successive approximation towards a target behavior
Term
focused on two behaviors
Definition
decrease unwanted behavior
increase a competing behavior
Term
Decrease of a undesirable behavior steps:
Definition
-Stop the reinforcement of a problem behavior
-if the behavior is occuring often, somthin has reinforced it.
- in the absense of the reinforcement a behavior will become extinct.
-to make sure no reinforce is occurring, no respnse to the behavior should occur.( should be ignored)
-the worst thing you can do is is respond to a reinforced behavior.
Term
reinforce a competing behavior
Definition
-describe on a preffered behavior that cant be done at the same time as the problem behavior you are seeking to eliminate.
-choose your reinforcer well
-whenever the desirabe behavior occurs, reinforce it right then.
-If the behavior you are trying to establish is complex you will need to start with small steps and use shaping techniques
-modeling can sometimes help "introduce" a new behavior
Term
ratio
Definition
based on number times behavior occurs
Term
fixed ratio
Definition
number of times something happens
ex food pellet evry 5 timee
Term
variable ratio
Definition
changes or vary whenever something happens
ex. the rat presses a button to get the food pellet, but the number changes on the times its pressed.
Term
interval
Definition
based on time
Term
fixed interval
Definition
30s after bar pressed food comes out
Term
variable interval
Definition
after 1min or 30s it varies
Term
Sensory memory
Definition
something remembered at that instance
Term

Watson founded behaviorism
Term
inability to get LTM is problem with ??? and ???
Definition
Learning:retaining
Term
problem retrieving from LTM is when you know but cant...
Definition
"think of it"
Term
Primacy effect
Definition
increased memory of the first few stimuli in a set reflecting storage infomation in LTM
Term
Recency effect
Definition
the last few sets of a stimuli in a reflecting storage information in STM
Term
Memory store
Definition
set of nuerons that serve to retain information over time
Term
primacy effect example
Definition
first line of words in a sequence
nothing to interfere with going into long term memory
Term
recency effect example
Definition
last few words can be said because they were the last ones rehearsed.
Term
Biological Preparedness
Definition
built in readiness for certain conditioned stimuli to elicit particular conditioned responses, so less condition is necessary to produce learning.
Term
example of biological preparedness
Definition
