Question 2: Classical Conditioning

Answer:

Forming an association between two stimuli resulting in a learned response. An organisms forms associations of events it does not control.

Question 3: Insight Learning Example

Answer:

Chimpanzees discover a novel way to reach a banana hung out of their reach

Question 4: Conditioning

Answer:

The process of learning associations

Question 5: Fixed-Ratio Schedule

Answer:

Reinforcing a behavior after a specific number of responses has occurred. Coffee Shops that reward customers with one free cup after every ten coffee purchases

Question 6: Extrinsic Motivation Example

Answer:

A teacher promising a gold star to students each time they learn a new word

Question 7: Higher-Order Conditioning

Answer:

Associating a conditioned stimulus with a new neutral stimulus can create a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus

Question 8: Shaping

Answer:

The process of reinforcing successively closer approximations to a desired behaviour

Question 9: Little Albert

Answer:

After learning to fear a white rat, he generalized his fear to anything white and furry, including rabbits

Question 10: Latent Learning

Answer:

"Hidden" learning that only manifests itself when reinforcement is offered. Not all learning is immediately apparent. Sometimes learning only becomes evident when we need to utilize it.

Question 11: Spontaneous Recovery Example

Answer:

Long after being bitten by a stray dog, you found that you fear dogs seem to have disappeared. To your surprise, however, when you are recently confronted by a stray dog, you experience a sudden twinge of anixety

Question 12: Unconditioned Response

Answer:

An automatic, natural reaction to something

Question 13: Positive Reinforcement Example

Answer:

Picking up a baby when it cries, causes the baby to become a real cry baby

Question 14: Continuous Reinforcement

Answer:

Reinforcement every time a particular response occurs

Question 15: Higher-Order Conditioning Example

Answer:

If a tone that regularly signals food triggers a salivation response, then a light that becomes associated with that tone may also begin to trigger salivation. A child who fears dogs after being bitten shows fear when he hears a dog bark

Question 16: Watson and Rayner's Study of Little Albert

demonstrates how emotions and behaviors specifically fears, can be learned through classical conditioning. Little Albert developed a fear of rats a white rat was paired with a loud noise

Question 17: Prosocial Affects

Experiment suggest that children exposed to a model who says one thing and does another talk in ways consistent with what the model says and act in ways consistent with what the model says.

Question 18: Unconditioned Stimulus

A stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response

Question 19: Observational Learning Example

Answer:

After one chimpanzee sees a second chimp open a box that contains a food reward, the first animal opens a similar box with great speed

Question 20: Acquisition Example

Answer:

By a pairing a light with a shock to a flatworm. The stage in which the flatworm's contraction response to light is established and gradually strengthened is this

Question 21: Reinforcer

Answer:

An even that increases the frequency of the behavior that it follows

Question 22: The Violence Viewing Effects

Is especially pronounced when the observed violence goes unpunished

Question 23: Habituation Example

Answer:

A sea slug learns to withdraw its gill after repeatedly being squirted by water. After repeated squirting, the withdrawal response lessens

Question 24: Mirror Neuron Example

Answer:

Researchers discovered that regions of the frontal lobe activated when a monkey moves peanuts to its own mouth are also activated when the monkey simply observes other monkeys move peanuts to their mouths.

Question 25: Unconditioned Stimulus Example

Answer:

In Pavlov's experiments on the salivary conditioning of dogs, this was the presentation of food

Question 26: Positive Reinforcement

Answer:

The addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. It increases the rate of operant responding
