1
Q

Operant conditioning:

A

A type of learning whereby the consequences of behaviour determines the likelihood that it will be performed again in the future.

2
Q

Desirable consequences:

A

Lead to an increased likelihood of a behaviour being repeated.

3
Q

Undesirable consequence:

A

Lead to avoidance or a decrease in the likelihood of the behaviour being repeated

4
Q

Three-Phrase model:

A

Antecedent
Behaviour
Consequence

5
Q

Antecedent:

A

The stimulus that precedes a specific behaviour.

6
Q

Behaviour:

A

The voluntary action that occurs in the presence of the antecedent stimulus.

7
Q

Consequence:

A

The environmental event that occurs immediately after the behaviour and has an effect on the occurrence of the behaviour

8
Q

Positive reinforcement:

A

Involves giving or applying a positive consequence after the desired response has been made, thus increasing the likelihood of the behaviour occurring again.

9
Q

Negative reinforcement:

A

Involves the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus thus, increasing the likelihood of the desired response being repeated.

10
Q

Punishment:

A

The delivery of an unpleasant consequence following a response, or the removal of a pleasant consequence following a response.

11
Q

Response cost:

A

Involves the removal or loss of a stimulus and thereby decreasing the likelihood of a response occurring.

12
Q

(O) Extinction:

A

The gradual decrease in the strength or rate of a CR following consistent non-reinforcement of the response.

13
Q

(O) Spontaneous recovery:

A

Occurs after extinction and the organism once again shows the response in the absence of any reinforcement.

14
Q

(O) Stimulus Generalisation:

A

Occurs when the correct response is made to another stimulus (Antecedent) that is similar to the stimulus that was present when the behaviour was reinforced.

15
Q

Similarity 1:

A

Both models of learning

16
Q

Similarity 2:

A

Both involve 4 phases (extinction, spontaneous recovery)

17
Q

Similarity 3:

A

Both pair two things/association is involved

18
Q

Difference 1:

A

Classical conditioning involves the pairing of two stimuli whereas Operant conditioning involves the pairing of a behaviour and its consequence.

19
Q

Difference 2:

A

CC: Involuntary
OC: Voluntary

20
Q

Difference 3:

A

CC: Doesn’t include punishment
OC: Includes punishment
