Questions and CORRECT Answers
respondent, operant - CORRECT ANSWER - Behavioristic Theories:
Most traditional
S-R - Classical or ___ conditioning
R-S - Instrumental or ___ conditioning
classical, S-R - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER -
operant, R-S - CORRECT ANSWER - ___ conditioning is concerned primarily with
learning that occurs as a consequence of behavior or ___
stimulus, response, stimulus - CORRECT 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 - 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 - CORRECT ANSWER - ___ (reflexive) behaviors are involuntary responses
that are elicited by a stimulus
cognitive, structures, processes - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER - The cognitive approach has been applied mainly to
___ theories.
1. expectations
2. attributions
3. locus of control
4. goal setting
theoretical - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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:
1. ____
2. ____
3. ____ processes
cognition, symbolizing, forethought, vicarious/modeling, self-regulation, self-efficacy -
CORRECT ANSWER - social ___ theory extends learning and/or modifying behavior by
giving more attention to self-regulatory mechanisms. Identifies 5 capabilities that people use to
*initiate, regulate, and sustain their behavior*
1.
2.
3. ____ learning
4.
5.
