Term
Learning from the behavior of others.
Definition
social learning
Term
We observe and imitate the others behavior.
Definition
Observational Learning
Term
Learning that is not obvious, but is beneath the surface.
Definition
LATENT LEARNING
Term
Understanding, knowing, anticipating or otherwise making use of higher mental processes
Definition
Cognitive Learning
Term
Strengthens a response by presenting a positive stimulus after a response.
Definition
Positive Reinforcer
Term
Strengthens a response by reducing or removing an unpleasant stimulus.
Definition
Negative reinforcer
Term
Attempts to weaken a response by following it with something unpleasant. Decreases the frequency of behavior
Definition
Punishment
Term
This is necessary for physiological or physical survival.
Definition
Primary Reinforcer
Term
This comes to represent a primary reinforcer, learned reinforcer
Definition
Secondary Reinforcer
Term
Reinforcing the desired response everytime it occurs. Learning occurs rapidly, extinction occurs rapidly.
Definition
Continuous Reinforcement
Term
Responses are sometimes reinforced, sometimes not. The acquiring process is slower, but there is greater resistance to extinction.
Definition
Partial Reinforcement
Term
This is the same/constant within a schedule. Behavior is reinforced after a set number of responses
Definition
Fixed Ratio
Term
This concept means changes. The behavior is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses and is hard to extinguish because of unpredictability.
Definition
Variable Ratio
Term
This refers to behavior being reinforced after a specific amount of time has passed. Response occurs more frequenly as the time for reward draws closer.
Definition
Fixed Interval
Term
This has to do with behavior being reinforced varying time intervals. It produces slow, steady responding.
Definition
Variable Interval.
Term
Gradual or succesive approximations to the desired response are awarded.
Definition
Shaping
Term
Rewarding a series of behavior then rewarding another series of behavior to produce a final response.
Definition
Chaining
Term
when learned responses are not reinforced this happens
Definition
extinction
Term
A behavior that spreads from one situation to another
Definition
Generalization
Term
Learning to tell the difference between one object or event and another
Definition
discrimination
Term
Reapparence of a conditioned response after a rest period
Definition
Spontaneous recovery
Term
Anything that elicits a response
Definition
Stimulus
Term
Reaction to stimulus
Definition
Response
Term
A stimulus that unconditionally--automatically and naturally--triggers a response
Definition
Unconditioned Stimulus
Term
An unlearned response that naturally occurs to unconditioned stimulus
Definition
Unconditioned Response
Term
An originally irrelevant stimulus that after association with an unconditioned stimulus comes to trigger a conditioned response.
Definition
conditioned stimulus
Term
learned response to a previously neutral conditioned stimulus
Definition
conditioned response
Term
associations that are made between two sets of stimulus that aren't necessarily connected
Definition
classical conditioning
Term
The neutral stimulus and the _______ stimulus are always the same in scenarios.
Definition
Conditioned
Term
The Unconditioned response and the conditioned response are the same in scenarios.
Definition
okayyyy
Term
What are the four main conditioning processes of classical conditioning?
Definition
Acquisition, Extinction, Spontaneous Recovery, Generalization
Term
learning of a voluntary behavior
Definition
operant conditioning
Term
What are all the different schedules of reinforcement? What are the concepts within them?
Definition
Continuous reinforcement, partial reinforcement. Fixed Ratio, Variable Ratio, Fixed interval, variable interval
