Operant conditioning CORRECT ANSWERS A type of learning where the
consequences that immediately follow a behavior determine the probability of the
behavior being repeated. An example of operant conditioning in dog training is when we
give a treat to a dog for sitting. This increases the probability that the dog will do this
behavior in the future.
Pavlovian (classical) conditioning CORRECT ANSWERS Associative learning where
the pairing of a conditioned and unconditioned stimulus to produce a unconditioned
response can lead to a conditioned response in the presence of the unconditioned
stimulus alone.
Thorndike's Law of Effect CORRECT ANSWERS responses that produce a satisfying
effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and
responses that produce a discomforting effect become less likely to occur again in that
situation
Watson's Little Albert Experiment CORRECT ANSWERS Controversial classical
conditioning experiment on an infant boy called "Little Albert." Watson was interested in
examining the effects of conditioning on the fear response in humans
B.F. Skinner CORRECT ANSWERS Behaviorist that developed the theory of operant
conditioning by training pigeons and rats
Ian Dunbar CORRECT ANSWERS Founder of APDT and promoted positive dog
training
Karen Pryor CORRECT ANSWERS Animal trainer and scientist who published "Don't
Shoot the Dog" explaining the application of operant conditioning
Reinforcement CORRECT ANSWERS in operant conditioning, any event that
strengthens the behavior it follows
Stimulus CORRECT ANSWERS any event or situation that evokes a response
primary reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS any reinforcer that is naturally reinforcing by
meeting a basic biological need, such as hunger, thirst, or touch
secondary reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing
after being paired with a primary reinforcer, such as praise, tokens, or gold stars
