positive reinforcement |
the reinforcement of a response by the addition of a pleasurable stimulus |
|
|
learning |
any relatively permanent change in behavior brought about by experience |
|
|
how is learning to walk an example of maturation but not learning? |
learning to walk is due to biological factors |
|
|
stimulus generalization |
tendency to respond to to a similar stimulus to the original Ex: dentist drill, coffee grinder |
|
|
stimulus discrimination |
you can learn to respond to different stimuli in different ways. |
|
|
extinction |
removal of unconditioned stimulus causes the learned response to die out |
|
|
basic emotions and physical responses that classical conditioning affect |
fear, hunger |
|
|
why does classical conditioning work? |
the conditioned stimulus has to provide some kind of information about the coming of the unconditioned stimulus in order to achieve conditioning |
|
|
classical conditioning |
learning of involuntary automatic responses |
|
|
operant conditioning |
learning through voluntary responses |
|
|

|
|

|
negative reinforcement |
removal or escape from something unpleasant so it will increase likelihood of it being repeated (keys ignition, annoying sound) |
|
|
operant, classical conditioning, pavlov, john watson, BF skinner are all associated with what type of learning? |
behavioral |
|
|
partial reinforcement effect |
it is after some but not all direct responses |
|
|
continuous reinforcement |
the reinforcement if each and every response, less resistant to extinction than partial reinforcement |
|
|
why is partially reinforced behavior harder to extinguish? |
it is more like real life |
|
|
why doesn't fixed interval schedule of reinforcement produce fast rate of responding? |
speed is not important, its the amount of time that has passed. ex; pay checks |
|
|
how does variable interval schedule of reinforcement work? |
the interval, |
