Conditioning and Learning PSYC 310 || very Flawless.
classical conditioning correct answers a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are
repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited
by the first stimulus alone.
instrumental conditioning correct answers Process in which animals learn about the relationship
between their behaviors and their consequences. Also known as operant conditioning.
positive reinforcement correct answers Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such
as food. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens
the response.
positive punishment correct answers addition of something unpleasant ex: adding more chores
negative reinforcement correct answers the reinforcement of a response by the removal, escape
from, or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus (ex: removing chores when they do something
good)
negative punishment correct answers the removal of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a
behavior's recurring (removing TV time )
Examples of Instrumental conditioning correct answers After completing a task rewarding
myself with a treat or 10 minute phone break
