Question 1

• Produces no response
• becomes the CS

Answer 1

Neutral stimulus (NS)

Question 2

Stimulus that automatically and naturally triggers a response

Answer 2

Unconditioned stimulus (US/UCS)

Question 3

Unlearned, naturally occuring response to the US/UCS

Answer 3

Unconditioned response (UR/UCR)

Question 4

Originally a neutral stimulus that after association with a (US/UCS) come to trigger CR

Answer 4

Conditioned stimulus (CS)

Question 5

A learned response to a previously neutral (CS)

Answer 5

Conditioned Response (CR)

Question 6

When the US/UCS (food) does not follow the CS (tone),CR (Salivation) begins to decrease and eventually cause this

Answer 6

Extinction

Question 7

Initial stage in a classical conditioning in which association between a neutral stimulus and a unconditioned stimulus takes place

Answer 7

Acquisition

Question 8

After a rest period a extinguished CR spontaniously recovers, but if the CS persists alone the CR becomes extinct again

Answer 8

Spontaneous recovery

Question 9

After conditioning, tendency for similar stimuli to elicit similar response. If something sounds like a bell, the dog might salivate, a ring tone, doorbell.

Answer 9

Generalization

Question 10

The learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned response

Answer 10

Stimulus discrimination

Question 11

Relearning of a conditioned response after extinction with only 1 or 2 more pairing (CS with US)

Answer 11

Reconditioning

Question 12

Father of beviorism, Little alber experiment

Answer 12

John B, Watson

Question 13

Father of operant conditioning

Answer 13

B.F. Skinner

Question 14

Involves operant behavior, a behavior that operates on the enviroment, producing rewarding or punishing stimuli. Punishment or rewards lead to voluntary changes in behavior

Answer 14

Operant conditioning

Question 15

Put cats in boxes, Law of effect

Answer 15

Edward thorndike

Question 16

Behavior changes because of its consequences

Answer 16

Thorndike law of effect

Question 17

Using thorndikes law of effect as a starting point, B.F. Skinner developed the operant chamber, or the skinner box, to study operant conditioning

Answer 17

Operant Chamber

Question 18

The operant conditioning procedure in which reinforces guide behavior towards the desired target behavior through successive approximations

Answer 18

Shaping

Question 19

Any event that strengthens the behavior it follows

Answer 19

Types of reinforcers

Question 20

Any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response

Answer 20

Positive reinforcement

Question 21

Any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens a response

Answer 21

Negative reinforcement

Question 22

An inately reinforcing stimulus like food or drink

Answer 22

Primary reinforcer

Question 23

A learned reinforcer that gets its reinforcing power through association with the primary reinforcer (money, token, chip)

Answer 23

Secondary reinforcer

Question 24

A reinforcer that occurs instantly after a behavior. A rat gets a food pellet for a bar press

Answer 24

Immediate reinforcer

Question 25

A reinforcer that is delayed in time for a certain behavior. A paycheck that comes at the end of the week

Answer 25

Delayed reinforcer

Question 26

Reinforces the desired response each time it occurs

Answer 26

Continuous Reinforcement

Question 27

Reinforces a response only part of the time

Answer 27

Partial (intermittnent) reinforcement

Question 28

Reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses

Answer 28

Fixed ratio schedule

Question 29

Reinforces a response after a unpredictable number of responses. This is hard to extinguish because of the unpredictability

Answer 29

Variable ration schedule

Question 30

Reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed

Answer 30

Fixed interval schedule

Question 31

Reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals

Answer 31

Variable interval schedule
