- In classical conditioning, what is the unconditioned stimulus?
Show answer
A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning- What is the unconditioned response in classical conditioning?
Show answer
The natural, automatic response to an unconditioned stimulus- Define the conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning.
Show answer
A neutral stimulus that elicits a learned response after repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus- What happens to a conditioned response during extinction?
Show answer
It decreases in frequency and intensity when the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus- Define spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning.
Show answer
The reappearance of a conditioned response after extinction, following a rest period- What is stimulus generalization in classical conditioning?
Show answer
The tendency to respond to stimuli that resemble the original conditioned stimulus- Define stimulus discrimination in classical conditioning.
Show answer
The ability to distinguish between the conditioned stimulus and similar stimuli, responding only to the conditioned stimulus- What is second-order conditioning?
Show answer
A process where a previously conditioned stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus for a new response through pairing with another neutral stimulus- Define operant conditioning.
Show answer
Learning in which behavior is controlled by its consequences: reinforcement increases behavior, punishment decreases it- What is positive reinforcement?
Show answer
Adding a desirable consequence after a behavior to increase its frequency- Define negative reinforcement.
Show answer
Removing an unpleasant stimulus after a behavior to increase its frequency- What is positive punishment?
Show answer
Adding an unpleasant consequence after a behavior to decrease its frequency- Define negative punishment.
Show answer
Removing a desirable consequence after a behavior to decrease its frequency- What is a continuous schedule of reinforcement?
Show answer
A reinforcement schedule in which every desired behavior is reinforced- What is a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement?
Show answer
Reinforcement occurs after a set number of responses
