Answers
4 Steps of Learning - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Attention
2. Retention
3. Reproduction
4. Motivation
Social Cognitive Learning Theory - CORRECT ANSWER - Founded by Albert Bandura;
association between our behavior and others
Bobo Doll Experiment/SCLT - CORRECT ANSWER - Consequences aren't necessary for
learning. Albert Bandura revealed the speed of which children adopted aggressive behaviors
modeled by adults, made current movie ratings, teaches aggressive styled behavior
Associations for each learning theory - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Classical Conditioning -
association between two stimuli
2. Operant Conditioning - association between a stimuli and its consequences
3. Social Cognitive Learning Theory - association between our behavior and others
Big Bang Theory example - CORRECT ANSWER - Sheldon gives Penny chocolates
every time she does good. This is Operant Conditioning. Sheldon is using the chocolate as
positive reinforcement so Penny will associate good actions with chocolate.
Classical Conditioning steps - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Pavlov started with food as an

4. Lastly, he uses the whistle as a conditioned stimuli that produced salivation as a conditioned
response.

negative punishment - CORRECT ANSWER - the removal of desirable stimuli following
unwanted behavior i.e. taking away a child's x-box for lying
habituation in a relationship - CORRECT ANSWER - basic form of learning evident when
an organism does not respond as strongly or as often to an event following multiple exposures to
it; in a healthy relationship, a person can get used to the other persons flaws that they begin to
