Psychology – chapter 9

ability to respond differently to different stimuli

when a conditioned response no longer occurs

changes in behavioral tendencies that result from experience

becomes a conditioned stimulus after training - we try to condition a response to this

an event that leads to a predictable response - occurs naturally

money that people earn from their job~ after primary needs

reinforcement for desirable behavior

mental picture of a place

program that gives points for desirable behavior exp. good grades

when one person copies another's behaviors

behavior modification system in which individuals set up their own rewards and punishments to change a behavior

creates a conditioned response

occurs naturally and predictably without training

happens after conditioning when the conditioned stimuli is presented - a neutral event that leads to a specific response after training

responding to a second stimulus that is similar to a conditioned stimulus without additional training

Sudden reappearance of the conditioned response after time lapse

unplesant consequences given to a behavior you wish to change

deals with basic needs - biological needs (hunger, thirst, ect.)

specific amount of time lapsing

random amount of time lapsing

fixed number of responses before reinforcement

random number of responses before reinforcement

the process where unpleasant stimuli influence behavior

the process that trains a person to leave a situation before it becomes unpleasant

the process that trains a person to remove or end an unpleasant stimulus

behavior demonstrated by giving up or refusing to try because of a belief that the situation is beyond the person's control

skill or behavior is learned one step at a time in a specific sequence

an operant conditioning technique that influences behavior by rewareding any act similar to the behavior and then requiring closer approximations to continue to receive the reward

social learning technique used to change behavior by rewarding appropriate behavior with some type of object that can be exchanged for rewards

typer of learning in which an old response attaches to a new stimulus

uses reinforcement to create new responses out of old responses

a stimulus or eent that affects the likelihold that a behavior will be repeated

type of learning results from unpleasant consequences

responses that occur in a sequence

learning from the consequences of behavior - study of how voluntary behavior is affected by it's consequences/ reinforcement

each time behavior occurs reinforcement is given

create long lasting behaviors

learning that occurs in the absence of a reinforcer

learning that results from observations and imitations

Cognitive learning and modeling

Focuses on how info is obtained, processed, and organized

learning principles applied systematically to change people's actions and feelings

belief that it's a permanent charecteristic

belief it's not specific but general

belief the problem is from within

modeling

behavior modification

only giving yourself the reinforcement when doing the good deed
