Questions and Answers

What is the effect of positive reinforcement?

  • Increases behavior that precedes it (correct)
  • Decreases behavior that precedes it
  • Removes something from the environment
  • Adds an aversive outcome

    • What is the difference between positive and negative punishment?

  • Positive adds an aversive outcome, negative removes something from the environment (correct)
  • Positive increases behavior, negative decreases behavior
  • Positive removes something from the environment, negative adds an aversive outcome
  • Positive adds something to the environment, negative presents a favorable outcome

    • What is the key characteristic of operant conditioning?

  • Voluntary behavior emitted by the organism (correct)
  • Stimuli not necessarily under the control of the subject
  • Depends on the difference between expected and actual outcome
  • Learning occurs due to prediction error

    Study Notes

    Overview of Conditioning and Extinction Phenomena

    • Classical conditioning renewal occurs when tested in a different context
    • Removal from acquisition context is not enough to renew an operant response
    • Spontaneous recovery leads to an increased tendency to return to the original acquisition over time
    • Generalization decrement may occur as the subject is less likely to understand specific conditions under which a response is reinforced
    • Q-induced reinstatement reintroduces a cue leading to increased responding even though responses are no longer reinforced
    • Stress-induced reinstatement occurs when an animal is trained to leave a press for a particular reinforcer
    • Retrieval of drug-seeking responses or other behaviors due to cues in the environment can be problematic in clinical settings
    • Extinction involves removing reinforcement and results in a decrease in behavior
    • Renewal effect occurs when the behavior returns in a different context
    • Stress can increase drug-seeking behavior, and non-drug reinforcers can also be affected by stress
    • CRF is part of the stress response and is affected by drugs, and emotions can affect the response retrieved after extinction
    • The prefrontal cortex is important for executive control, and damage to it can result in failure to inhibit responses in certain cognitive tasks
