MBA 704 EXAM 6 HIGH-YIELD CORPORATE
STRATEGY, LEADERSHIP, AND DECISION
ANALYSIS SUMMARY 2026
◉ classical, S-R.
Answer: ___ conditioning is a process in which a formerly neutral
stimulus when paired with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes a
conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response: __
connection is learned
◉ operant, R-S.
Answer:
◉ operant, R-S.
Answer: ___ conditioning is concerned primarily with learning that
occurs as a consequence of behavior or ___
◉ stimulus, response, stimulus.
Answer: In Classical Conditioning:
1. A change in the ___ (unconditioned stimulus to conditioned
stimulus) will elicit a particular ___.
,2. The strength and frequency are determined mainly by the
frequency of the eliciting ___ (the environment event that *precedes*
the behavior)
3. During the process; the unconditioned stimulus, serving as a
reward, is presented every time.
EX:
(S) stuck by a pin --> flinches (R)
(S) tapped below the knee --> flexes lower leg (R)
◉ cue, response, consequences, correct.
Answer: In Operant Conditioning:
1. One particular response out of many possible ones occurs in a
given stimulus situation.
2. The stimulus serves as a ____. It does not elicit the response but
serves as a cue for a person to emit the response.
3. The critical aspect is what happens as a consequence of the ____.
4. The strength and frequency are determined mainly by the _____
(the environment event that *follows* the behavior)
5. The reward is only presented only if the organism gives the ___
responses. The organism must operate in the environment in order
to receive the reward. The response is instrumental in obtaining the
reward.
,*Must greater impact on human learning*
Ex:
(R) works --> paid (S)
(R) enters a resturant --> obtains food (S)
◉ repondent.
Answer: ___ (reflexive) behaviors are involuntary responses that are
elicited by a stimulus
◉ cognitive, structures, processes.
Answer: ___ learning consists of a relationship between cognitive
environment cues and expectation. (Tolman, white rat)
Depicted as S-S, or learning the association between the cue and the
expectancy.
Today, this learning focuses more on ___ and ___ of human
competence rather than on the acquisition and transition processes
that have dominated learning theory explanations.
◉ insight.
, Answer: ___ learning is when the solution to the problem appeared
as a whole, not as a series, gradual shaping of new responses as the
operant approach
◉ motivation.
Answer: The cognitive approach has been applied mainly to ___
theories.
1. expectations
2. attributions
3. locus of control
4. goal setting
◉ theoretical.
Answer: The __ approach to learning was the first to combine and
integrate both behavioristic and cognitive concepts and emphasized
the interactive, reciprocal nature of cognitive, behavioral, and
environmental determinants.
◉ social, vicarious, modeling, self-control.
Answer: ___ learning draws from the principles of classical and
operant conditioning and goes beyond them by recognizing that
there is more to learn than direct learning via antecedent stimuli
and contingent consequences. Learning takes place via:
