Consequence of a response determines the tendency to respond in the same way in the future; strengthened or weakened organisms tend to repeat behaviors that bring about pleasant consequences.

question

B.F. Skinner

answer

American Behaviorist - developed many of the concepts of operant conditioning, such as reinforcement

question

Reinforcer

answer

follows a response strengthens it or increases the probability that it will occur

question

Punisher

answer

Decreases the probability that it will occur

question

Extinction

answer

weakening and eventual disappearance of a response as a result of withholding reinforcement

question

Reinforcement

answer

Anything that follows a response and strengthens it or increases the probability that it will be repeated. Reward when they do something good.

question

Positive reinforcement

answer

(add something positive) A pleasant or desirable consequence that increases the probability that a response will be repeated; Do chores, get allowance

question

Negative reinforcement

answer

(subtract something negative) Termination of an unpleasant condition after a response, which increases the probability that the response will be repeated; Get out of jail if you pay taxes

question

Primary Reinforcement

answer

Reinforcement does not need to be received continually in order for behavior to be learned and maintained.

question

Secondary Reinforcement

answer

Schedules of reinforcement are the frequency and timing of reinforcement following desired behavior

question

Fixed-interval (FI)

answer

Reinforcer is given after first correct response after a specific period of time has elapsed; Example: one exam at end of semester (don't study until very end), washing machine cycle Overall rates of response relatively low. INTERVAL = TIME ex. But in more time to received a reward.

question

Variable-interval (VI)

answer

Reinforcer is given after first correct response following a varying period of time; Example: surprise quizzes - students will study more, going fishing (how much time will you have to wait for a bite?) More likely to produce relatively steady rates of responding. INTERVAL = TIME. Ex Don't know when the quiz coming so study ahead to get the reward

question

Reinforce Fixed-ratio (FR)

answer

Reinforcer given after a fixed number of correct, nonreinforced responses ; Example: getting paid after sewing 10 shirts. People are apt to work as quickly as possible. RATIO = NUMBER ex.10 coffee get 1 free

question

Variable-ratio (VR)

answer

Reinforcer is given after a varying number of nonreinforced responses; Example: Telephone salesperson, slot machines Takes longer to learn; but once learned, response rates are high. Most resistant to extinction. RATIO = NUMBER ex. slot machines how many you play before the reward.

question

Schedule of Continuous Reinforcement

answer

A system of dispensing a reinforcement EVERY time a response is produced. Ratio= number more high response.

question

Schedule of Partial Reinforcement

answer

A system of dispensing a reinforcement for only a PORTION of responses

question

Punishment

answer

A stimulus that decreases the probability that a previous behavior will occur again. The removal of a pleasant stimulus or the application of an unpleasant stimulus, thereby lowering the probability of a response. (Opposite the reinforcement)

question

Positive punishment

answer

weakens a response through the application of an unpleasant stimulus. (if kid scream he know the parent don't want him in the church. But to avoid his scream use jacky spray in his mouth to stop his screaming)

question

Negative punishment

answer

weakens a response through the removal of something pleasant. The punished often become fearful and feel angry toward the punisher. Frequently leads to aggression ( take away something good) ex. Pg. 149

question

Cognitive Learning

answer

Learning that occurs without the opportunity of first performing the learned response OR being reinforced for it

question

Insight Learning

answer

The process of mentally working through a problem until the sudden realization of a solution occurs

question

Latent Learning

answer

learning that occurs without apparent reinforcement and is not demonstrated until the organism is motivated to do so. (ex. Observe and learn from that person. Learn something without training)

question

Cognitive Maps

answer

A mental representation of an area that helps an organism navigate its way from one point to another

question

Implicit Learning

answer

Learning without conscious awareness of what is learned

question

Observational Learning

answer

Learning by observing the behavior of others and the consequences of that behavior; learning by imitation; Model is the individual who demonstrates a behavior or whose behavior is imitated (watching somebody mistake not to follow they mistake)

question

Modeling Effect

answer

learning a new behavior from a model through the acquisition of new responses ( learn from watching somebody do it)

question

Facilitation Effect

answer

exhibiting a behavior similar to that shown by a model in an unfamiliar situation ( something u observed. Ex. Copy something on tv and learn from it)

question

Inhibitory Effect

answer

suppressing a behavior because a model is punished for displaying the behavior (

question

Disinhibitory Effect

answer

displaying a previously suppressed behavior because a model does so without receiving punishment (ex . Somebody doing something they get away with it and you do it cause u think u will get away too.)

question

"Bobo Doll" Studies (Bandura, 1961) (on the test)

answer

Children imitate aggressive behavior of an adult model Humans on film portraying aggression were the most influential in eliciting aggression; Children do not process information about consequences in the same ways as adults do

question

Recent Research (Television and Other Entertainment Media)

answer

Individuals who watch the most violence as children are more likely to engage in acts of violence as adults. Violent video games increase feelings of hostility and decreases sensitivity to violent images. (watch too much violent children intimate engage to the samething)
