is an example of
Definition
a conditioned response,or classical conditioning
Term
Behavior therapy has its roots in
Definition
experimental psychology and the study of the learning process in humans and animals.
Term
There is no systematic study of behavior until
Definition
Ivan Pavlov
Term
John Watson applied concepts from Pavlov's conditioning experiments to
Definition
human behavior
Term
Operant conditioning is an approach to learning developed by
Definition
Skinner
Term
Experiments of how environmental influences affect behavior
Definition
study observable behaviors that operate outside the individual

Albert Bandura developed
Definition
social cognitive theory, which deals with internal or cognitive processes and learning through perceptions of environment
Term
Learned behavior is a conditioned response to the
Definition
presentation of a conditioned stimulus
Term
In Watson's famous study, he explained how
Definition
an emotional response could be conditioned in a child by using a classical conditioning
Term
Bed -wetting alarm is a classical conditioning method that has been used for
Definition
more than 70 years
Term
Operant conditioning focuses on the antecedents
Definition
and the consequences of behavior
Term
Operant conditioning is the basis for application of behavior principles to
Definition
a wide variety of problems,especially for those dealing with severe mental disabilities such as schizophrenia and autism
Term
Studying learning is a reason
Definition
to perform research experiments which prove the "Law of Effect"
Term
The Law of Effect states that
Definition
consequences follow behavior and help learning
Term
Skinner's operant conditioning is a kind of learning in which
Definition
behavior is altered by systematically changing consequences.
Term
Skinner's work was with lab animals but he extended his principles of operant conditioning
Definition
to human behavior

Definition
applying limited lab findings to prescriptions for living

Social Cognitive Theory focus on the study of
Definition
covert behaviors; those that cannot be observed easily

Some covert behaviors that are observed in social cognitive theory are
Definition
are physiological (physical) responses(BP, muscle tension)

Definition
social cognitive theorists.
Term
"Cognitive-Behavioral" is often used to describe theorists who use both
Definition
overt and covert behaviors in their studies.
Term
Observation and modeling are two aspects of
Definition
social learning theory
Term
Observation and modeling are two aspects of
Definition
social learning theory
Term
Bandura took social learning theory, emphasized the role of thoughts and feelings to create
Definition
Social Cognitive Theory
Term
Banduras'"triadic reciprocal interaction system"
Definition
involves interactions among the environment; personal factors (of memories, beliefs, preferences, predictions anticipations) and self perceptions and behaviors
Term
The three factors of Bandura's triad operate
Definition
interactively with each of the other two
Term
According to Bandura,
Definition
individuals learn by observing others
Term
In Bandura's triad, the center is the self-system, which is
Definition
a set of cognitive structures and perceptions that regulate behavior
Term
The cognitive structures of Social cognitive theory's triad include
Definition
self-awareness, self-inducements and self-reinforcement that can influence thoughts, behaviors and feelings
Term
Social cognitive theory's concept of self-efficacy deals with
Definition
how well people perceive that they are able to deal with difficult tasks in life

Definition
business and industry, child raising, improving athletic performance and enhancing the lives of people in nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals and other institutions
Term
In Behavior Therapy, as in other therapies, the relationship with the client is
Definition
valued
Term
Almost all of the behavioral therapy journals demonstrate a close relationship between
Definition
research and practice of behavior therapy
Term
Bandura's social learning theory has had an impact on behavior therapy
Definition
through the practice of modeling and the emphasis on self-observation.
Term
Most of the underlying principles of Behavior theory are from
Definition
research on classical and operant conditioning and on observational learning
Term
Reinforcement is the process in which
Definition
the consequences of behavior increase the likelihood that a behavior will be performed again
Term
Lack of reinforcement can bring about
Definition
extinction of behavior
Term
behavior can be changed by processes that
Definition
shape,narrow, (discrimination) broaden(generalize) and others
Term
Antecedents( events that occur before the behavior) and consequences
Definition
are studied as part of the behavior.
Term
A specific behavior
Definition
is an important part of behavior therapy
Term
Positive reinforcement
Definition
is a positive event (consequence) of a person's performance of a behavior
Term
When a positive event follows a behavior,
Definition
that behavior increases in frequency and that even is a positive reinforcer
Term
rewards do not necessarily increase the probability of the frequency of a response,but a
Definition
positive reinforcer does
Term
Positive reinforcement is one of the most
Definition
widely used behavior therapy procedures
Term
Intermittent positive reinforcement is more effective than
Definition
continuous positive reinforcement
Term
Negative reinforcement increases
Definition
a behavior and should not be confused with punishment
Term
Punishment decreases or weakens
Definition
a behavior and not is the same as negative reinforcement
Term
In negative reinforcement, an undesirable consequence is
Definition
removed and increases the likelihood that the behavior will e repeated
Term
Extinction is the process of no longer presenting a
Definition
reinforcer (example of not responding to a crying baby)
Term
Generalization is when a behavior is reinforced and
Definition
is'generalized'to other behavior,increasing the chances that responding to one type of stimulus will transfer to similar stimuli
Term
Just as it is important to be able to generalize from one experience to others, it is important to e able to
Definition
discriminate among different situations
Term
Discrimination is the ability
Definition
to react differently, depending upon the stimulus condition which is presented.
Term
Shaping is when a therapist uses
Definition
reinforcement, extinction, generalization and discrimination
Term
In shaping, there is a gradual movement from the original behavior to the
Definition
desired behavior
Term
Bandura states that reinforcement is not enough to explain learning and personality development, but also through
Definition
observing and modeling the actions of others
Term
The four basic functions of observational learning are
Definition
attention,retention,motor reproduction and motivation
Term
retention processes of imaginal coding and verbal coding refers to

Vicarious and self- reinforcement
Definition
are motivational processes

Definition

Definition
actual environment
Term

Definition
in a computer-generated environment
Term

Definition

Definition
teaching, prompting, motivating, reducing anxiety and discouraging
Term
Self-instructional training is a cognitive-behavioral method of
Definition
self-management

Definition
people to teach themselves how to deal effectively with situations that had previously caused problems.
Term
Stress innoculation was developed by
Definition
Meichenbaum

A SIT program refers to
Definition

Definition

Definition
