Which type of reinforcement involves increasing behavior by adding a reward?
Positive reinforcement
What type of learning is based on acquiring new behaviors and information through observation and information rather than direct experience?

Hippocampus
Study Notes
Types of Learning
- Classical conditioning is associated with linking stimuli to elicit a specific reaction, as demonstrated by Pavlov's dogs, where a neutral stimulus elicits an unconditional response.
- Operant conditioning involves changing behavior and voluntary choices in response to consequences, such as positive and negative reinforcement, which affects the probability of a behavior occurring.
Reinforcement
- Positive reinforcement involves increasing behavior by adding a reward, which strengthens the behavior and increases its frequency.
Observational Learning
- Observational learning is based on acquiring new behaviors and information through observation and imitation rather than direct experience, where an individual learns by observing others and imitating their behavior.
Memory Formation
- The hippocampus is responsible for transferring short-term memory to long-term memory, playing a critical role in memory formation and consolidation.
Test your knowledge of the building blocks of behavior with this quiz on associative learning. Explore classical conditioning, its application in the clinical setting, and the principles of operant conditioning. Sharpen your understanding of how behaviors are shaped and modified through these learning types.
