Lecture 2: Pos Rft & Extinction

Question 1

Learning the relationship between an action and a response

Answer 1

Associative learning

Question 2

How is classical conditioning different from instrumental conditioning?

Answer 2

CC is paired with a different stimulus

Question 3

Refers to a function as an event

Answer 3

Reinforcement

Question 4

Positive contingency: response results in outcome: reward

Answer 4

Appetitive. Response increases

Question 5

Positive contingency: response results in outcome: punishment

Answer 5

Aversive. Response decreases

Question 6

Negative contingency: response prevents outcome: omission

Answer 6

Appetitive. Response decreases

Question 7

Negative contingency: response prevents outcome: negative Rft (e.g. Avoidance)

Answer 7

Aversive. Response increases

Question 8

Refers to a situation in which a stimulus reinforcers a behavior after it has been associated with a primary reinforcer whereas primary reinforcers occurs naturally and do not need to be learned

Answer 8

Secondary Rft

Question 9

Example of __________ reinforcement includes waters food, sleep, and air

Answer 9

Primary Rft

Question 10

An example of ___________ reinforcement is money

Answer 10

Secondary Rft

Question 11

What are the 2 factors that affect instrumental conditioning?

Answer 11

1. Temporal contiguity

2. Contingency

Question 12

Small/ no interval produces stronger learning in all cases of instrumental and classical conditioning

Answer 12

Temporal contiguity

Question 13

Statistical relationship between a response and a reinforcer

Answer 13

Contingency

Question 14

Instrumental conditioning is also known as

Answer 14

Operant conditioning

Question 15

Reinforces a behavior to achieve a certain goal

Answer 15

Shaping

Question 16

Complex behavior can be thought as a simple response. What involves shaping a sequence of responses. e.g. Language acquisition.

Answer 16

Response chaining

Question 17

Involves secondary reinforcement, partial reinforcement, desirable for practical reasons

Answer 17

Schedules of Rft

Question 18

Mean Rft is derived once every 5 responses

Answer 18

Fixed-Ratio

Question 19

Mean Rft is delivered on average every 5 responses

Answer 19

Variable-Ratio

Question 20

Mean Rft delivered on the first response after 5 seconds has elapsed since last Rft

Answer 20

Fixed-Interval

Question 21

Rft delivered on the first response after a variable time has elapsed since last Rft

Answer 21

Variable-Interval

Question 22

Elicits rapid responding

Answer 22

Ratio schedules

Question 23

Post Rft pause

Answer 23

Fixed Ratio

Question 24

You get rapid responding

Answer 24

Variable Ratio

Question 25

Slower behavior

Answer 25

Fixed and Variable interval

Question 26

There's a pattern (does not respond that much until it reaches a certain point)

Answer 26

Fixed Interval

Question 27

Example: encourage children to do chores

Answer 27

Ration schedules
