Q

When does classical conditioning transfer to other stimuli?

A

When stimulus generalization occurs

2
Q

eliciting a fear response when hearing any drill, not just the original drill the fear was conditioned with

A

stimulus generalization

3
Q

Who first described classical conditioning?

A

Pavlov

4
Q

What are the two types of conditioning?

A
  1. classical conditioning

2. operant conditioning

5
Q

Who created operant conditioning?

A

B.F. Skinner

6
Q

occurs when an event following a response increases the organisms tendency to make that response

A

reinforcement

7
Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to acquisition?

A

Classical conditioning: CS and US are paired, gradually resulting in CR
Operant conditioning: Responding gradually increases because of reinforcement, possibly through shaping

8
Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to extinction?

A

Classical conditioning: CS is presented alone until it no longer elicits CR
Operant conditioning: responding gradually slows and stops after reinforcement is terminated

9
Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to stimulus generalization?

A

Classical conditioning: CR is elicited by new stimulus that resembles original CS
Operant conditioning: responding increases in the presence of new stimulus that resembles original discriminative stimulus

10
Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to stimulus discrimination?

A

Classical conditioning: CR is not elicited by new stimulus that resembles original CS
Operant conditioning: responding does not increase in the presence of new stimulus that resembles original discriminative stimulus

11
Q

the final stage of learning

A

acquisition

12
Q

the gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency

A

extinction

13
Q

What is the difference between stimulus generalization and stimulus discrimination?

A

Stimulus generalization-an organism’s responding to stimuli other than the original stimulus used in conditioning.
Stimulus discrimination- an organism’s lack of response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus used in conditioning

14
Q

What are the two types of reinforcement schedules?

A
  1. continuos

2. intermittent

15
Q

What is the difference between ratio schedules and interval schedules?

A

Ratio schedules are the number of responses determines appearance of reinforcer.
Interval schedules, when timing determines appearance of reinforcer

16
Q

Ratio schedules are composed of what two ratios?

A
  1. fixed ratio

2. variable ratio

17
Q

Interval schedules are composed of what two intervals?

A
  1. fixed interval

2. variable interval

18
Q

What is an example of a interval schedule?

A

a 9 to 5 job

19
Q

What is the difference between fixed ratio and variable ratio?

A

Fixed Ratio, a schedule in which you will always get rewarded after a certain number of occurrence.
Variable Ratio, no guarantees

20
Q

Reinforcement __________ the likelihood of making a response.

A

increases

21
Q

____________ increases the likelihood of making a response

A

reinforcement

22
Q

Punishment __________ the likelihood of making a response

A

decreases

23
Q

___________ decreases the likelihood of making a response

A

punishment

24
Q

Positive reinforcement (+): the likelihood of a response occurring is strengthened by ___________ a rewarding stimulus

A

providing

25
Q

_________ _____________ (+): the likelihood of a response occurring is strengthened by providing a rewarding stimulus

A

Positive reinforcement

26
Q

Negative reinforcement (-): the likelihood of a response occurring is strengthened by _______ ____ an aversive stimulus

A

taking away

27
Q

________ ____________ (-): the likelihood of a response occurring is strengthened by taking away an aversive stimulus

A

Negative reinforcement

28
Q

Is this negative or positive reinforcement: reward a child with an ice cream cone after receiving an excellent report card

A

positive reinforcement

29
Q

Is this negative or positive reinforcement: rewarding a child for receiving a an excellent report card by taking away one of their mandatory weekly chores

A

negative reinforcement

30
Q

What are the two types of negative reinforcement?

A
  1. escape learning

2. avoidance learning

31
Q

Escape learning- learning a response that __________ or ____ aversive stimulation

A

decreases

ends

32
Q

_______ ________- learning a response that decreases or ends aversive stimulation

A

Escape learning

33
Q

Avoidance learning- learning a response that ________ some aversive stimulation

A

prevents

34
Q

_________ ________- learning a response that prevents some aversive stimulation

A

Avoidance learning

35
Q

What type of negative reinforcement is this: leaving a party where you were getting picked on. Now you consider escaping/ running away as viable solution for conflict?

A
