Classical Conditioning:
The type of learning that takes place when a conditioned stimulus alone elicits a desired response
Primary Reinforcement:
Reinforcement that is associated with meeting primary needs such as air, food and water
Operant Learning:
The type of learning that takes place in response to the application or withdrawal or rewards and punishments
Reciprocal Inhibition:
A form of classical conditioning that promotes confidence by pairing stressful thoughts with behavior that is incompatible with an anxiety reaction
Secondary Reinforcement:
Reinforcement that derives its reinforcing properties through its association with primary needs; examples include money, medals, pats on the back and warm smiles
Omission training:
Said to have taken place when a response results in the loss of schedule reward. In the case of either punishment or omission training, the effect is a negative one that is intended to diminish the strength of the response
Punishment:
The delivery of aversive stimulation contingent on some behavior. Negatives: Suppresses a response, entrench behavior it was designed to stop, just tells you what not to do, not what to do, creates too much emotional arousal
Shaping:
Selective reinforcement of successive approximations of a desired response
Differential Reinforcement:
Reinforcement of behavior by consistently praising correct performance and selectively ignoring errors
Public Recording:
A reinforcement technique in which formal evaluations are publicly displayed
ABA design:
A type of research design involving recording during non-treatment, treatment, followed by non-treatment conditions
Conditioned Reinforcement:
Reinforcement that occurs when a previously neutral stimulus that has been paired with a primary reinforcer elicits the same response as the primary reinforcer
Fading:
A procedure that ensures the persistence of desired behaviors after reinforcement is ended
Chaining:
A stimulus response chain in which each response except the last serves as a signal for the next response
Response Cost:
Penalizing undesirable behavior by taking away a reward object previously gained for appropriate behavior
Total Chain:
Everything completed at once
Forward Chain:
Step by step mastery
Backward Chain:
For golf, going from the green to the tee box
Distributed Practice:
Practice sessions over long periods of time
Massed Practice:
Training crammed into short time frame
Learned helplessness:
A sense of helplessness transferred from a situation in which a person has no control to new situations in which he or she might experience success with little effort
Arousal:
An all-inclusive, broad-ranging continuum of physiological and psychological activation at any point in time
Anxiety:
A negatively charged emotional state characterized by internal discomfort and nervousness (interpretation of arousal)
Cerebral Cortex:
Neural tissues making up the brain’s covering; cortical activation determines the extent to which an arousal state, such as nervousness, becomes a relevant emotional phenomenon
Hypothalamus:
A forebrain structure involved in the control of the endocrine system and thus linked to arousal
State Anxiety:
Situational apprehension, the intensity of which varies with the strength of the fear-eliciting cue (situation based)
Cognitive State Anxiety:
State anxiety characterized by worry and emotional distress
Inverted-U hypothesis:
A hypothesis about the relation between psychological arousal and performance-namely, that arousal above or below an optimal level is likely to create poor performance
Trait Anxiety:
Disproportionate fear of a broad range of situations
Precompetitive Anxiety:
Fear of performance failure, fear of negative social evaluation, fear of physical harm, situation ambiguity and disruption of well-learned routine
Individualized zones of optimal functioning (IZOF) theory:
The theory that each athlete has his or her own optimal level of anxiety and his or her own zone of optimal functioning; an alternative to the inverted-U hypothesis
Catastrophe theory:
The theory that high levels of both somatic and cognitive anxiety will produce a catastrophic decrement in performance; an alternative to the inverted-U hypothesis
Reversal Theory:
A theory that emphasizes the importance of each individual’s reversible views of what constitutes his or her preferred levels of anxiety; an alternative to the inverted U-hypothesis
Trait theory:
An approach to leadership based on the assumption that certain traits distinguish leaders from non-leaders
Behavior theory:
An approach to the study of leadership based on the assumption that the behavior of leaders differs from the behavior of no-leaders
-Consideration:
Behavior that indicates trust, rapport, concern for subordinates and interest in maintaining two-way communication
-Structure:
Behavior that leaders engage in to make sure that things get done-planning , motivating, role assignments, etc…
Path-Goal Theory:
The study of leadership that proposes that effective leaders motivate subordinates to achieve goals by making rewards available and making the path there free of obstacles.
Life-Cycle Theory:
An approach to the study of leadership that focuses on maturity of the followers. Changes in maturity of followers prompt changes in leader’s task behavior and relationship behavior
Functional Model:
An approach to the study of leadership that proposes that effective leaders attend to both the instrumental and the expressive needs of subordinates
Transformational Leadership:
Style of leadership based on vision, rhetorical skills and excellence in impression management
Transactional Leadership:
Style of leadership characterized by enunciation of organizational goals accompanied by systems of reward to accomplish these goals
Life Cycle Model of cohesion:
The idea that cohesion progresses in a predictable way through a series of stages: forming, storming, norming and performing
Self-Efficacy Theory:
A social cognitive approach to attribution suggesting that success or failure depends on a person’s beliefs about his or her own ability and about the likelihood that a given behavior will lead to a specific outcome (Albert Bandura)
Efficacy Expectation:
We get what we expect
Weinberg’s ways to increase intrinsic motivation:
Coaches should structure their activities in ways that guarantee a certain amount of success, athletes involved in goal setting and decision making, praise all players regardless of importance of role on the team, set realistic goals, variation in drills and practice (see pg.153)
Team half-life:
The amount of time it takes for the roster of a particular team to turn over by 50%
Motivation:
3 assumptions of motivation: The same as Arousal, positive thinking is the only way, is an innate gift. Sources of motivation: Ways of thinking, social and personality
Attribution Theory:
Attempts to explain the underlying causes of a person’s behavior
Casual Theory (cause and effect):
An inference about why something happened
Dispositional Attribution:
A inference about a quality or trait that an individual may possess
Self-Serving Attributional Bias:
Bias resulting from attributing success to internal factors (ability, effort) and failure to external events (task, difficulty and luck).
Cognitive Attributional Model:
The idea that a person’s success or failure is a function of ability, effort, task difficulty and luck (Weiner’s view pg.138)
Overjustification Hypothesis:
Process whereby reinforcement is provided beyond what is minimally necessary, thus causing a person to question the justification for responding in the first place
