The reinforcement of a behavior every time it occurs is known as

• Continuous reinforcement

• Fixed-interval reinforcement

• Variable-ratio reinforcement

• Intermittent reinforcement

The ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and similar stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus is known as:

• Extinction

• Generalization

  
  

• Discrimination

• Acquisition

A fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement involves reinforcing a behavior after

• A variable number of responses

• A variable amount of time has passed

• A consistent number of responses

• A consistent amount of time has passed

Learning from the consequences of our own behavior is known as:

• Observational learning

• Cognitive conditioning

• Classical conditioning

• Operant conditioning

Negative reinforcement involves:

• Punishing an undesired behavior

• Removing an aversive stimulus to increase a behavior

• Reprimanding a behavior to decrease its frequency

• Rewarding a behavior to increase its frequency

In operant conditioning, when a behavior is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus resulting in an increase in the frequency of that behavior, it is an example of:

• Positive reinforcement

• Negative reinforcement

• Positive punishment

• Negative punishment

In classical conditioning, the process by which a conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is presented alone is referred to as:

• habituation
• reinforcement
• generalization
• extinction

Watson and Rayner's Little Albert experiment demonstrated:

• Acquisition

• Higher-order conditioning

• Stimulus generalization

• Stimulus generalization

The process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not others is known as

• Generalization

• Acquisition

• Extinction

• Discrimination

In classical conditioning, the initial stage when a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus is known as:

• Generalization

• Extinction

• Acquisition

• Spontaneous recovery
