Fixed-Variable Schedule

A partial schedule of reinforcement in which a reinforcer is delivered after the first response is given once a set interval of time has elapsed.

Fixed-Ratio Schedule

A partial schedule of reinforcement in which a reinforcer is delivered each time a fixed number of responses is made. The fixed number can be any number greater than one.

A partial schedule of reinforcement in which the number of responses it takes to obtain a reinforcer varies on each trial but averages to a set number across trials.

Law of Effect

A principle developed by Edward Thorndike says that any behavior that results in satisfying consequences tends to be repeated and that any behavior that results in unsatisfying consequences tends not to be repeated.

Classical Conditioning

Acquiring a new response (the conditioned response) to a previously neutral stimulus (the conditioned stimulus) that reliably signals the arrival of an unconditioned

What is the learning process of Classical Conditioning?

Acquisition, Extinction, Spontaneous Recovery, Stimulus Generalization, Stimulus Discrimination

The application of classical and operant conditioning principles to eliminate undesirable behavior and to teach more desirable behavior.

Behavior Modification

The stimulus that comes to elicit a new response in classical conditioning.

Conditioned Stimulus

The diminishing of the operant responses when it is no longer reinforced.

Extinction (operant)

Stimulus Generalization (Operant)

Giving the operant response in the presence of stimuli similar to the discriminative stimulus (the more similar, the higher the response rate).

A principle developed by Edward Thorndike that says that any behavior that results in satisfying consequences tends to be repeated and that any behavior that results in unsatisfying consequences tends not to be repeated.

Law of Effect

Observational Learning (modeling)

Learning by observing others and imitating their behavior.

Latent Learning

Learning that occurs but is not demonstrated until there is an incentive to do so.

Operant Conditioning

Learning to associate behaviors with their consequences. Behaviors that are reinforced (lead to satisfying consequences) will be strengthened, and behaviors that are punished (lead to unsatisfying consequences) will be weakened.

Stimulus Discrimination (Operant)

Learning to give the operant response only in the presence of the discriminative stimulus.

Mirror Neurons

Neurons that fire both when performing an action and when observing another person perform the same action.

Training an animal or human to make an operant response by reinforcing successive approximations to the desired response.

The finding that operant responses reinforced on partial schedules are more resistant to extinction than those reinforced on a continuous schedule.

Partial-Reinforcement Effect

Positive Punishment

Pleasant Stimulus is taken away

Positive Reinforcement

Pleasant stimulus is given

Punishment in which an aversive stimulus is presented.

Continuous Schedule of Reinforcement

Reinforcing the desired operant response each time it is made.

Partial Schedule of Reinforcement

Reinforcing the desired operant response only part of the time.

A stimulus that gains its reinforcing property through learning.

Secondary reinforcer

A partial recovert in strength of the conditioned response following a break during extinction training.

Spontaneous Recovery (classical)

In operant conditioning, given the operant response in the presence of stimuli similar to the discriminative stimulus.

Stimulus Generalization

Behavior Modification

The application of classical and operant conditioning principles to eliminate undesirable behavior and to teach more desirable behavior.

Extinction (Operant)

The diminishing of the operant response when it is no longer reinforced.

Partial-Reinforcement Effect

The finding that operant responses that are reinforced on partial schedules are more resistant to extinction than those reinforced on a continuous schedule.

A partial schedule of reinforcement in which the number of responses it takes to obtain a reinforcer varies on each trial but averages to a set number across trials.

Variable-Ratio Schedule

Premack Principle

The principle that the opportunity to perform a highly frequent behavior can reinforce a less frequent behavior.

Punishment

The process by which the probability of a response is decreased by the presentation of a punisher.

Reinforcement

The process by which the probability of a response is increased by the presentation of a reinforcer.

Unconditioned Response (UCR)

The response in a reflex that is automatically elicited by the unconditioned stimulus

Conditioned Response (CR)

The response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning.

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)

The stimulus in a reflex that automatically elicits an unconditioned response

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

The stimulus that comes to elicit a new response (the conditioned response) in classical conditioning

Discriminative Stimulus (Operant)

The stimulus that has to be present for the operant response to be reinforced.

Acquisition (Operant)

The strengthening of a reinforced operant response.

Spontaneous Recovery (Operant)

The temporary recovery of the operant response following a break during extinction training.

Instinctual Drift

The tendency for an animal to drift back from a learned operant response to an innate, instinctual response to an object.

A classical conditioning procedure in which the conditioned stimulus precedes the unconditioned stimulus but the two stimuli do not occur together.

Trace Conditioning
