Behaviourism (bellamy)

Question 1

Reinforcement

Answer 1

Anything that strengthens a response and increases the likelihood that it will occur again

Question 2

Positive reinforcement

Answer 2

Receiving a reward when a certain behaviour is performed, making this behaviour more likely to be repeated

Question 3

Negative reinforcement

Answer 3

Doing something in order to escape an unpleasant situation, repeating it becomes a bad habit

Question 4

Punishment

Answer 4

Where behaviour is less likely to occur again because it is followed by an unpleasant consequence

Question 5

Classical conditioning

Answer 5

Process by which a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus to eventually produce a conditioned response

Question 6

Operant conditioning

Answer 6

Process of learning through reinforcement and punishment, if a behaviour is followed by a desirable consequence, behaviour is more likely to occur again

Question 7

Timing

Answer 7

The condoning does not take place if the NS and US are done with a large time interval

Question 8

Extinction

Answer 8

If the CS is used continually without the US, the association will be forgotten

Question 9

Stimulus generalisation

Answer 9

If a sound similar to the NS is heard, it will have a conditioned response

Question 10

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 10

If the association is forgotten, when the NS and US are together again, CR is learnt again
