Psycholody Midterm--Learning

In classical conditioning, any behavior that is learned thru the association of two stimuli--the condtitioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus

In classical conditioning, any behavior that occurs naturally or reflexively to an unconditioned stimulus

Variations in the arrangement b/t behavior and reinforce delivery

A response produces a reinforcer after an average amount of time has passed

A response produces a reinforcer after a fixed amount of time has passed

On average, the Nth response produces a reinforcer

A reinforcer is delivered after every Nth response

What schedule of reinforcement has the highest rate of response?

Any stimulus that is contingent ofn behavior that increases the future likelihood of that behavior (effects on behavior)

Any stimulus, which is contingent on avoidance or escape behavior, which increases the future likelihood of that behavior (avoiding something aversive and being successful at it)

Receiving an unleasant stimulus as a result of behavior, which then reduces the likelihood of the behavior that produced it (giving something, like a spanking)

Losing a pleasant stimulus as a result of behavior, reducing the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated (take something away, like being grounded)

Repeated or prolonged exposure to a stimulus results in a gradual reduction in responding

When the US has acquired its ability to produce leraning from an earlier procedure in which it was used as a CS
