Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 9mins
Operant Conditioning is:
a type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences
a process of learning by observation
a method of learning through association between stimuli
a form of learning that occurs through imitation
Law of Effect:
States that behaviors followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to recur.
Describes the process of classical conditioning.
Refers to the law of diminishing returns in psychology.
Explains the effect of group pressure on individual behavior.
Reinforcement refers to:
a process that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated
a method of reducing unwanted behaviors
a type of punishment
a way to ignore certain behaviors
Shaping is:
a process of reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior
a method of punishment for unwanted behavior
a way to memorize information quickly
a technique for group decision making
Positive Reinforcement is:
A method of encouraging desired behavior by offering rewards
A way to punish unwanted behavior
A technique to ignore behavior
A process of removing rewards for good behavior
Negative reinforcement:
is the removal of an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior
is the addition of a pleasant stimulus to increase a behavior
is the removal of a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior
is the addition of an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior
Primary Reinforcers are:
stimuli that satisfy basic biological needs
rewards learned through association
punishments for undesirable behavior
signals for conditioned responses
Conditioned (secondary) Reinforcers are:
stimuli that acquire reinforcing properties through association with primary reinforcers
stimuli that are naturally reinforcing, such as food or water
responses that are learned through punishment
behaviors that are repeated due to habit
An example of delayed gratification is:
Saving money to buy something special later instead of spending it immediately.
Eating dessert before dinner.
Skipping homework to play video games.
Buying a new phone on impulse.
Reinforcement schedules are:
patterns that determine when a behavior will be reinforced
methods for punishing unwanted behavior
ways to eliminate all reinforcement
techniques for teaching new skills without rewards
Continuous Reinforcement refers to:
A schedule in which every correct response is reinforced
A schedule in which only some responses are reinforced
A schedule in which no responses are reinforced
A schedule in which reinforcement is given at random intervals
Partial (Intermittent) Reinforcement is:
a schedule where responses are sometimes reinforced and sometimes not
a schedule where every response is reinforced
a schedule where no responses are ever reinforced
a schedule where reinforcement is given after a fixed time only
Punishment is:
A penalty for wrongdoing
A reward for good behavior
A form of encouragement
A type of celebration
