|
A type of learning in which the consequences of behavior are manipulated in order to increase or decrease the frequency of an existing response or to shape an entirely new response
|
Operant Conditiong
|
|
|
A type of learning through which an organism learns to associate one stimulus with another.
|
Classical Conditioning
|
|
|
Learning by observing the behavior of others and the consequences of that behavior; learning by imitation.
|
Observational Learning
|
|
|
A stimulus that elicits a specific unconditioned response without prior learning.
|
Unconditioned Response (UR)
|
|
|
A stimulus that elicits a specific unconditioned response without prior learning.
|
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
|
|
|
A neutral stimulus that, after repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes associated with it and elicits a conditioned response
|
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
|
|
|
The learned response that comes to be elicited by a conditioned stimulus as a result of its repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus
|
Conditioned Response (CR)
|
|
|
In classical conditioning, the weakening and eventual disapearance of the conditioned response as a result of repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus
|
Extinction
|
|
|
In classical condtioning, the tendency to make a condtioned response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus.
|
Generalization
|
|
|
The learned ability to distinguish between similar stimuli so that the condtioned response occurs only to the original conditioned stimulus but not to similar stimuli.
|
Discrimination
|
|
|
A systematic process for administering partial reinforcement that produces a distinct rate and pattern of responses and degree of resistance to extinction
|
Schedule of Reinforcement
|
|
|
A schedule in which a reinforcer is given after a fixed number of correct, nonreinforced responses.
|
Fixed-ration Schedule
|
|
|
A schedule in which a reinforcer is given after a verying number of nonreinforced responses, based on an average ratio.
|
Variable-ratio Schedule
|
|
|
A schedule in which a reinforcer is given following the first correct responses after a specific period of time has elapsed.
|
Fixed-interval Schedule
|
|
|
A schedule in which a reinforcer is given after the first correct response that follows a varying time of nonreinforcement, based on an average time.
|
Variable-Interval Schedule
|
