CPDT-KA Learning Theory Questions and
Correct Answers the Latest Update
positive reinforcement (R+)
✓ something good from animal's perspective added after target behavior occurs, so
behavior increases
negative reinforcement (R-)
✓ something bad from animal's perspective removed after target behavior occurs, so
behavior increases
positive punishment (P+)
✓ something bad from the animal's perspective added after target behavior occurs, so
behavior decreases
negative punishment (P-)
✓ something good from the animal's perspective removed after target behavior occurs,
so behavior decreases
extinction
✓ the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an
unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in
operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced
✓ When a subject is exposed to a stimulus and the reaction to that stimulus becomes
weaker over time; Occurs most often with stimuli that elicit weak emotional
response
sensitization
✓ When a subject is exposed to a stimulus and the reaction to that stimulus becomes
stronger over time; Occurs most often with stimuli that elicit intense emotional
responses
adaptation
✓ Different from Habituation in that it doesn't involve learning and animal no longer
reacts because animal doesn't perceive stimulus because of physical process of tiring.
Flash bulb example: (physiology) the responsive adjustment of a sense organ (as the
eye) to varying conditions (as of light) Sensory adaptation of concern for handlers of
detection dogs. Motor adaptation occurs when tiring of motor neurons that
command muscles to work.
learned irrelevance
✓ Animal stops responding to stimulus because it has no consequence (aka pre-
exposure effect).
reinforcement
✓ increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated
conditioning
✓ learning
consequence
