Definition
| repeated presentation of unconditioned stimulus and controlled stimilus nearly simultaneously |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when an unlearned reflexive response diminishes with repeated presentation of a stimulus; simplest form of learning |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when a controlled stimulus is presented without the uncontrolled stimulus, the controlled response diminishes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| changes in behavior because of experience with one's environment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when a controlled response occurs not just to the original controlled stimulus but to new stimulus that resemble the original |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| abolishment of generalization between two stimuli by reinforcing one while extinguishing the other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the passage of time following extinction that can partially renew the conditioned reflex |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the use of classical conditioning to pair fear (controlled response) with a controlled stimulus. Watson's experiments on Little Albert and bunnies represents one such example |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the decline in physiological and behaviorial effects that occur with some drugs when they are taken repeatedly. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a learning process by which the effect, or consequence, or a response affects the future rate of production of that response |
|
|
Term
| Thorndike's Law of Effect |
|
Definition
| responses that produce a satisfying effect in a situation become more likely while those responses that produce an unsatisfactory effect become less likely. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| anything that decreases the likelihood of a behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| incremental reinforcement of a desired response until the desired response finally occurs and can be reinforced. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
only some operant responses are reinforced. Often leads to stronger learning and a slower onset of extinction
4 types: fixed ratio, fixed interval (ie checking laundry), variable ratio (slot machine), and variable interval (waiting on hold) |

|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when the ARRIVAL of a stimulus following a response makes the response more likely to occur |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when the REMOVAL of a stimulus following a response makes the response more likely to occur |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when the ARRIVAL of a stimulus following a response makes the response LESS likely to occur |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the REMOVAL of a stimulus following a response decreases the likelihood of that response occuring again. |
|
|
Term
|
