13762278298 | Behaviorism | the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes | 0 | |
13762283728 | What is the driving force of behaviorism | the environment | 1 | |
13762290488 | Internal forces can be measured | false | 2 | |
13762299380 | Two types of behavior | Respondents and operants | 3 | |
13762305728 | Respondent | Reflexes (S-R) Pavlovian (S-S) Extinction (unlearning) | 4 | |
13762347709 | Operant | Active learning (R-S) Reciprocal nature with environment (two kinds) | 5 | |
13762368715 | Two forms of reciprocal nature with environment | reinforcement and punishment | 6 | |
13762375403 | How were his parents | strict | 7 | |
13762384759 | How was Skinner's childhood | Fear of punishment (God, the law, others reactions) Interest in machinery Had many pets | 8 | |
13762400269 | What was associated with his identity crisis | Lost in career Lost in love Devoted to science | 9 | |
13762405246 | Pioneer in school of | behaviorism | 10 | |
13762419832 | Classification of operant learning | reinforcement and punishment | 11 | |
13762431535 | Reinforcement | strengthens behavior | 12 | |
13762431536 | punishment | weakens behavior | 13 | |
13762442903 | Positive reinforcement | Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food | 14 | |
13762447850 | Negative reinforcement | Increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response. (Note: negative reinforcement is not punishment.) | 15 | |
13762456675 | Positive punishment | addition of something unpleasant | 16 | |
13762464557 | Negative punishment | the removal of a stimulus following a given behavior in order to decrease the frequency of that behavior | 17 | |
13762480303 | positive and negative reinforcers can be | Primary: biologically driven Secondary: psychologically driven | 18 | |
13762496029 | Primary | Very effective, lose strength over time | 19 | |
13762501186 | Secondary | Weaker, can be used more over time | 20 | |
13762512214 | Lack of reinforcement with behavior will produce | Extinction (like classical conditioning) | 21 | |
13762524873 | Steps of reinforcement | Shaping Chaining | 22 | |
13762524874 | Shaping | gradual reinforcement to gain desired behavior | 23 | |
13762549506 | Chaining | multiple series of behavior become functional units | 24 | |
13762581077 | Immediate vs delayed reinforcement (initial) | Animals: closer to consequences to reward, more likely reinforcement will occur Humans: more likely to respond to delayed reinforcement | 25 | |
13762598200 | Schedules of reinforcement | Fixed-ratio schedules Variable-ratio schedules Fixed-interval schedules Variable-interval schedules | 26 | |
13762616581 | Fixed-ratio schedule | in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a SPECIFIED NUMBER of responses | 27 | |
13762632962 | Variable-ratio schedule | in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response after an UNPREDICTED NUMBER of responses | 28 | |
13762641972 | Fixed-interval schedule | In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response ONLY AFTER A SPECIFIED TIME HAS ELAPSED | 29 | |
13762660314 | Variable-interval schedule | in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response at UNPREDICTED TIME INTERVALS | 30 | |
13762673461 | Behavioral characteristics | Superstition Creativity Neuroticism Helplessness | 31 | |
13762699865 | Types of behavioral modification | Self-control Control of others | 32 | |
13762704533 | Self-control | Stimulus avoidance Self-administered satiation Aversive stimulation technique Self-reinforcement | 33 | |
13762717379 | Control of others | Applied behavioral analysis Token economy | 34 | |
13764321401 | Token economy | Constant good behavior (green stars), kid gets prize | 35 | |
13762916428 | free will vs determinism | determinism | 36 | |
13762916429 | nature vs nurture | nurture | 37 | |
13762920484 | past vs present | both | 38 | |
13762925388 | uniqueness vs universality | uniqueness | 39 | |
13762944233 | equilibrium vs growth | both | 40 | |
13762969915 | optimism vs pessimism | optimism | 41 | |
13763004059 | Assessment of Skinner must be | meaasurable | 42 | |
13763004060 | Functional analysis (ABCs) | A- antecedent, unwanted behavior, influenced behavior B- target behavior, therapist is trying to get rid of (get measured) C- consequences, what can happen after the behavior | 43 | |
13763024249 | Assessment techniques | Direct observation Self reports (sign vs sample) Physiological correlates Neurological correlates (post skinner) | 44 | |
13763046113 | sign-versus-sample approach | The sign approach is used to assess personality while the sample approach is used to assess behavior | 45 | |
13764358285 | sign-versus-sample example | Sign: response "I'm fine" Sample: gives example what happened | 46 | |
13764405448 | Reverse experimental design | A: control B: Treatment or change in environment A: Control B: Treatment of change in environment (twice bc normal behavior should go back, see if behavior returns) | 47 | |
13764432848 | independent variable | environment | 48 | |
13764439123 | dependent variable | behavior | 49 | |
13764450136 | Instinctive drift | environment and genetics change so Skinners results with animals are different than what they are now | 50 |
