Conditioning and Observational Learning Choices

A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus

• 
  unconditioned response

• 
  unconditioned stimulus

• 
  conditioned stimulus

• conditioned response

a previously neutral stimulus that, because of pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, now causes a conditioned response.

• unconditioned stimulus

• 
  conditioned stimulus

• 
  unconditioned response

• conditioned response

Something that produces a reaction

• conditioning

• stimulus

• flood

• shaping

Learning that is strengthened when behavior is followed by positive reinforcement

• classical conditioning

• Observations

• 
  operant conditioning

• unconditioning

What is classical conditioning?

• Classical conditioning is a type of learning that is only applicable to animals
• A type of learning that involves the formation of an association between a neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally elicits a response

• Classical conditioning is a type of learning that focuses on reinforcement
• Classical conditioning is a type of learning that involves operant behavior

Encouraging stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior when they are presented

• positive reinforcers

• negative reinforcers

in classical conditioning, the disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned response.

• shaping

• generalization

• 
  extinction

a type of conditioned learning in which only some of the responses are reinforced.

• full reinforcement

• partial reinforcement

• 
  restricted reinforcement

• adaptive reinforcement

The tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics

• generalization

• taste aversion

• system stimulus

a person is exposed to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus have extinguished

• shaping

• flood

• extinction

• stimulus
