Question 1

Respondent Behavior

Answer 1

Involuntary behavior (without prior learning)
* elicted by unconditioned stimulus

Phylogenic-phylogeny: genetically inheritied behavior, respondent behavior, due to phylogenic history

Rarely changes during our lifetime
Product of natural evolution, it can protect the species

gag reflex (UR) choking on food (US)

Question 2

Habituation

Answer 2

When the unconditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short period of time, the strength of the respondent behavior diminishes

Question 3

Respondent Conditioning

Answer 3

When a neutral stimuli achieves the capacity to elict respondent behaviors, typically elicited by a specific unconditioned stimuli

A stimulus is conditioned (CS) to elict a new response (CR)
* conditioned = pairing (not learning)

Food poisoining to fish, now when he smells fish he becomes nauseou

Pavlov

Question 4

Respondent Extinction

Answer 4

Unpairing of a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US)

Bell w/o meat for long period of time, dog no longer salivates

Question 5

Operant

Answer 5

LEARNED BEHAVIOR

Question 6

Operant Behavior

Answer 6

A behavior determined and maintained by it’s history of consequences
* voluntary and learned behavior
* defined by function

Question 7

Ontogenic/Ontogeny

Answer 7

Learned behaviors that result from your interaction with your setting
* encompasses reinforcement and punishment

Question 8

Adaptation

Answer 8

When repeated presentation of a particular stimulus reduces your response

Laughing less after hearing a joke multiple times

Question 9

Operant Conditioning

ABC

Answer 9

The process involving an occasion for the behavior (SD), the behavior itself, and the consequence that follows
* A process that determines the future of that behavior’s occurence or nonoccurence
* Operant behavior: the product of operant conditioning

Question 10

Automaticity of Reinforcement (and Punishment)

Answer 10

Operant conditioning occurs automatically

Behavior is modified by consequences, even if a person is not aware of the contingency

Question 11

Principles of Behavior

PER

Answer 11

Scientifically derived rules of nature
1. Punishment
2. Extinction
3. Reinforcment

Question 12

Respondent-Operant Interactions

Answer 12

Respondent and operant conditioning can occur simulatenously

Question 13

Consequences

Answer 13

A stimulus change that comes after a behavior
* only affect future behavior
* select response class
* select any behavior
