Skinner is associated with?
Operant conditioning
Pavlov is associated with?
Classical Conditioning
Thorndike is associated with _____ Conditioning and __________?
Operant Conditioning
Law of Effect
Watson is associated with ______ Conditioning and __________?
Classical Conditioning
Stimulus Generalization
Classical Conditioning is based on _______
Pairing
Operant Conditioning is based on _______
Reinforcement
What is a US?
CS?
UR?
CR?
US is the Unconditioned Stimulus (universal trigger)
CS is the Conditioned Stimulus (paired trigger)
UR is the Unconditioned Response (universal response)
CR is the Conditioned Response (paired response)
What is Forward Conditioning?
A CS (Bell) is followed by a US (Meat Powder) which is followed by the UR (Salivate). The CS (Bell) then evokes the CR/UR (Salivate)
What is Backward Conditioning?
A US (Meat Powder) is paired with CS (Bell) and a CR never occurs.
What is Delay Conditioning?
A CS (Bell ringing) is presented and a US (Meat Powder) overlaps.
What is Trace Conditioning?
A CS is presented then ends. Then a US is presented and ends.
What is Second Order or Higher Order Conditioning?
A CS1 elicits a US. Then CS2 is paired with CS1 and comes to yield CR2.
What is Stimulus Generalization?
A CS (White mice) elicits a CR (fear) and another similar stimulus (White bunnies) also elicits the same CR (fear). (White mice=fear ->White bunnies=fear)
What is Response Generalization?
Elicit a similar but not the same response to a specific stimuli (peck at a disc on the floor, also peck at discs on wall)
What is Classical Extinction?
Present the CS (tone) by itself repeatedly.
What is Operant Extinction?
Stop reinforcing the behavior.
What is Habituation?
Repeated presentations of US (freeway) no longer causes UR (startle).
What is Satiation?
Rewards become less reinforcing.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Give a REWARD (sticker) after the desired behavior (completed homework) is exhibited. Behavior is more likely to happen again.
What is Positive Punishment?
PAIN action (yell) after an undesired behavior (nose picking) is exhibited. Behavior is less likely to happen in the future.
What is Negative Reinforcement?
Give RELIEF (avoid being yelled at) after the desired behavior is exhibited (use tissue). Behavior is more likely to happen again.
What is Negative Punishment?
LOSS (take away a coin) after an undesired behavior (nose picking) is exhibited. Behavior is less likely to happen again.
Positive is ____
something ADDED
Negative is _____
something REMOVED
