This is a form of learning by association between two stimuli.
Punishment
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
Extinction
An unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is a stimulus that triggers a response
either automatically or as a reflex
as a learned reaction to a signal
despite extinction
is something that once was neutral
In Pavlov's experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the:
meat powder
salivating response in dog
ringing of the bell
racing heartbeat
Extinction occurs when
the UCS no longer produces the UCR
the CS no longer produces the CR
you learn to distinguish between different stimuli
you respond to similar stimuli
Classical conditioning occurs in:
taste aversion
advertising
schools
all of the above
Like classical conditioning, operant conditioning is a form of associative learning except that there is:
an association between events
an association with discrimination
reinforcement or punishment
an association without consequences
Reinforcement can be:
positive or negative
immediate or delayed
primary or secondary
all of the above
Negative reinforcement makes a behaviour:
less likely to occur because it adds punishment
more likely to occur because it removes something negative
less likely to occur because it adds something negative
more likely to occur because it adds something positive
Primary reinforcement involves something that is biologically reinforcing, such as:
paying the babysitter
giving your dog a treat
giving your dog praise
paying your dog
A major problem with punishment is:
punishment can end behaviour
punishment can teach aggressive behaviour
punishment can decrease anxiety
all of the above
