1. It explains learning in terms of observable behaviours and how they are influenced by stimuli from the environment.

2. 1. Classical Conditioning 2. Ivan Pavlov’s 5 concepts 3. Generalization 4. Operant Conditioning

3.  A type of learning that occurs when individuals learn to produce involuntary emotional or physiological responses similar to instinctive or reflexive responses.

4.  Object or event causing the instinctive or reflexive physiological or emotional response.

5.  Instinctive or reflexive physiological or emotional response caused by the unconditioned stimulus.

6.  An object or event that does not initially impact behaviour one way or the other.

7.  Formerly neutral stimulus that becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus.

8.  A learned physiological or emotional response that is similar to the unconditioned response.

9.  The conditioned and unconditioned stimuli must exist at the same time.

13.  Teachers or peers affect how you feel when you enter the class.  When a teacher creates a friendly environment in the class, the pupils will generally feel comfortable entering the class.

14.  Occurs when stimuli is similar- but not identical - to a conditioned stimulus elicit the conditioned response by themselves (N. Jones, Kemenes, & Benjamin, 2001)

15.  Observable responses that change in frequency or duration as the result of consequences, events that occur following behaviours. (B.F. Skinner, 1953, 1954)  In summary, behaviours are largely controlled by consequences rather than by stimuli preceding the behaviour. The consequence of an action results in the behaviour portrayed.

16.  The term used by B.F. Skinner to describe the effects of the consequences of a particular behavior on the future occurrence of that behavior.  There are four types of Operant Conditioning: Positive Reinforcement, Negative Reinforcement, Punishment, and Extinction.   Both Positive and Negative Reinforcement strengthen behavior while both Punishment and Extinction weaken behavior

17.  The process of applying reinforcers to increase behaviour.

18.  Process of increasing the frequency or duration of a behaviour as the result of presenting a reinforcer. Sometimes, reinforcing of undesirable behaviour may result.

19.  Process of increasing behaviour by avoiding or removing an aversive stimulus (Baldwin & Baldwin, 2001; B.F. Skinner, 1953)

20.  The removal of an adverse stimulus which is ‘rewarding’ to the animal. Negative reinforcement strengthens behaviour because it stops or removes an unpleasant experience.

21.  a process which reinforces successive approximation of the desired behaviour.

22.  Use of punishers to weaken behaviour.

25. The ABC of Behavioral Learning

26.  Learning is about the increased probability of a behaviour based on reinforcement which has taken place in the past, so that the antecedents of the new behaviour include the consequences of previous behaviour.
