Yesterday, Mary competed in a martial arts tournament. She ended up placing fourth out of the ten that competed. Mary was devastated because she really loves the sport and has been practicing for the majority of her life. Which type of motivation is this demonstrating?
Observational Learning
Extrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic Motivation
Biological Predisposition
The statement, "People are nothing more than robots. We are driven by our biological reactions to stimuli," would best be supported by __
B.F. Skinner
Ivan Pavlov
James Watson
E.L. Thorndike
In Pavlov's experiment, the bell is the _
Neutral Stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Response
Unconditioned Response
A person is pinned down and tickled. At first, the person fights against it. Eventually, the person (seeing that they have no control) gives up and lets it happen. What is this an example of?
An acquisition error
Habituation
Latent Learning
Learned Helplessness
Rats associate best to the sense of taste. Similarly, so do humans. This is an example of_
Biological Predisposition
Abstract Learning
Generalization
The Law of Effect
What was ethically wrong with the "Little Albert" study?
Watson banged the hammer too loudly, causing Little Albert to have ear damage when he grew up.
Watson was never given the credentials to be a psychologist in the first place. He conducted studies with no prior experience of psychiatry, copying previous psychologists instead.
Little Albert's mother did not agree to give consent to the studying of her baby.
Little Albert himself did not give the okay to the study.
Extinction occurs when
The UCS precedes the UCR
The Neutral Stimulus follows the CS
The CS doesn't follow the CR
The CR doesn't follow the CS
What is an example of a primary reinforcer?
VIdeo Games
Punishment
Food
School
Which is an example of a secondary reinforcement?
Dehydration
Praise
Hunger
Having to go to the bathroom
After Teddy has been conditioned to fearing people with black socks, Teddy sees a black ankle brace and responds similarly to seeing black socks. What is this an example of?
Discrimination
Operant Conditioning
Chaining
Generalization
This time, Teddy notices the difference between the ankle brace and black socks, therefore, he does not react to it. What is this an example of?
Discrimination
Generalization
Operant Conditioning
The Law of Effect
Timmy is behaving badly. His mother spanks him every time he does this. This is an example of
Negative Punishment
Positive Punishment
Negative Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
In order to get Timmy to stop yelling, his mother takes away his toys. This is an example of
Positive Punishment
Negative Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
Negative Punishment
The Law of Effect is best credited by which scientist?
B.F. Skinner
Edward Thorndike
Carl Rogers
Sigmund Freud
What is the Law of Effect?
Responses followed by negative stimuli is likely to increase behaviour
Responses followed by a neutral stimulus is likely to remain neutral
The effects stimulated on others are likely to reciprocate, causing a chain of negative or positive interactions.
Responses followed by satisfaction (positive) are likely to increase behaviour and make it more likely to occur again and again.
Timmy has learned his lesson and his mother gives him his toys back. This is an example of
Positive Punishment
Negative Punishment
Positive Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
Billy's mom took away his punishment once he proved that he learned his lesson. This is an example of?
Negative Punishment
Positive Punishment
Negative Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
The Little Albert experiment demonstrated -
Aversive Conditioning
Avoidance Learning
Punishment
Omission training
Chaining is -
Teaching subjects to behave in a specific way successively multiple times
Reinforcing properties of something
Teaching a new behaviour
Providing on and off schedules of reinforcement
What is best when FIRST teaching a new behavior
Fixed Ratio
Fixed Interval
Continuous Reinforcement
Partial Reinforcement
Ross and Bandura demonstrated aggression and observational learning through
The Premack Principle
Latent Learning
The Bobo Doll experiment
Instinctive Drift
Albeit Henry continues to try to teach a bird to walk rather than fly. The bird continues to fly. This is an example of
Instinctive Drift
Habituation
Latent Learning
State Dependent Learning
The premise of - the more times two things are paired together, the greater chance that learning will occur - is best exemplified by -
Abstract learning
Kohler's Experiment
The Contingency Model
The Social -Learning theory
After struggling with a solution of how to get her keys out of her car, Kerry suddenly realizes that she should call Triple A. What type of learning does this demonstrate?
Insight Learning
Abstract Learning
Fundamental Learning
Acquisition
Insight Learning was best demonstrated via -
The Bobo Doll Experiment
Wolfgang Kohler's Experiment
The frustration - aggression principle
Habituation Training
The Premack Principle states that
Continuous reinforcement is best for learning
Of two activities, whichever is preferred the most can be used to reinforce the other activity
Once behavior is learned, partial reinforcement schedules yield a higher success rate
Extinction is highest in higher yield cases
Token Economies are most popular in
Mental Institutions
Households
Prisons
Jobs
