Learning Theory
Across
- 4. Involves reaching the desired behaviour pattern one step at a time through Operant Conditioning
- 5. Another name for Operant Conditioning
- 7. response A stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response
- 8. A process of behaviour modification by which a subject comes to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly presented along with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits the desired response
- 10. Known for his contribution to Classical Conditioning
- 13. A new or modified response elicited by a stimulus after conditioning
- 16. Initially meaningless stimuli or event becomes inherently rewarding after repeated association with primary reinforcer
- 18. A box that can only be opened through some obscure, and sometimes complicated, series of manipulations
- 19. A process of behaviour modification in which the likelihood of a specific behaviour is increased or decreased through positive or negative reinforcement each time the behaviour is exhibited, so that the subject comes to associate the pleasure or displeasure of the reinforcement with the behaviour
- 22. A response that is followed by a reward is more likely to recur whereas one that is followed by an unpleasant experience is less likely to occur again
- 23. An aversive action or unpleasant sensation applied either during or within one second of a particular behaviour that reduces the likelihood of that behaviour being repeated in the future
- 24. The rewarding of a correct behavioural response, increasing the likelihood of that behaviour being repeated
Down
- 1. A reduction or a loss in the strength or rate of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus or reinforcement is withheld
- 2. Another name for Classical Conditioning
- 3. A stimulus or event that is inherently rewarding to the animal
- 6. Animal is encouraged to engage in another behaviour that is more pleasurable and which cannot be performed simultaneously with fear responses in the presence of the triggering stimulus
- 9. A form of reinforcement in which the removal of a negative or aversive stimulus, such as a loud noise or an unpleasant event, results in an increased probability that a particular behavioural response will occur in the future
- 11. Prolonged exposure to a negatively perceived stimulus at a level that provokes the response so that the animal eventually give up
- 12. An example of a secondary reinforcer
- 14. Known for his contribution to Operant Conditioning
- 15. An example of a primary reinforcer
- 17. Type of reinforcement schedule where every correct response is rewarded
- 20. Another name for Operant Conditioning
- 21. Type of reinforcement schedule where the correct behaviour is rewarded occasionally and on a random or unpredictable basis
