3. a response is rewarded after an
unpredictable amount of time has passed. This
schedule produces a slow, steady rate of
response. Does your boss randomly drop by
your office a few times throughout the day to
check your progress? This is an example.
4. a decrease in response to a stimulus after
repeated presentations. For example, a novel
sound in your environment, such as a new
ring tone, may initially draw your attention or
even become distracting. After you become
accustomed to this sound, you pay less
1. a schedule of reinforcement where a
response is reinforced after an unpredictable
number of responses. This schedule creates a
steady, high rate of responding. Gambling and
lottery games are good examples of a reward
based on a variable ratio schedule.
2. a previously neutral stimulus that, after
becoming associated with the unconditioned
stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a
response.
6. a response or behavior is strengthened by
stopping, removing or avoiding a negative
attention to the noise and your response to the
sound will diminish.
5. a term used in both classical and operant
conditioning. It involves the ability to
distinguish between one stimulus and similar
stimuli.
7. your teacher's last name.
10. refers to the gradual weakening of a
conditioned response that results in the
behavior decreasing or disappearing. In other
words, conditioned behavior eventually stops.
11. involves the addition of a reinforcing
stimulus following a behavior that makes it
more likely that the behavior will occur again
in the future. When a favorable outcome,
event, or reward occurs after an action, that
particular response or behavior will be
strengthened. After you execute a turn during
a skiing lesson, your instructor shouts out,
"Great job!"
12. is one that unconditionally, naturally, and
automatically triggers a response.Pollen from
grass and flowers causes you to sneeze. The
pollen from the grass and flowers is it.
13. a schedule of reinforcement where a
response is reinforced only after a specified
number of responses.
15. the learned response to the previously
neutral stimulus.
16. a schedule of reinforcement where the first
response and subsequent responses are
rewarded only after a specified amount of
time has elapsed.
17. the tendency for the conditioned stimulus
to evoke similar responses after the response
has been conditioned. For example, if a child
has been conditioned to fear a stuffed white
rabbit, it will exhibit fear of objects similar to
the conditioned stimulus such as a white toy
rat. (Starts with a G)
outcome or aversive stimulus. You decide to
clean up your mess in the kitchen (the
behavior) to avoid getting into a fight with
your roommate (removal of the aversive
stimulus).
8. it involves taking something good or
desirable away to reduce the occurrence of a
particular behavior. A teenage girl stays out
for an hour past her curfew, so her parents
ground her for a week.
9. the unlearned response that occurs naturally
in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus. For
example, if the smell of food is the
unconditioned stimulus, the feeling of hunger
in response to the smell of food
14. it involves presenting an unfavorable
outcome or event following an undesirable
behavior. You wear your favorite baseball cap
to class but are verbally reprimanded by your
instructor for violating your school's dress
code.
