Classical conditioning

Tutelage

Operant conditioning

What is the term used to describe learning that has occurred but is not currently manifest in behavior?

Expectancies

Stimulus discrimination

Cognitive maps

Latent learning (correct)

Which of the following is an example of positive reinforcement in operant conditioning?

Termination of an aversive stimulus

Presentation of an aversive stimulus

Termination of a reward after a behavior

Presentation of a reward after a behavior (correct)

What is the difference between positive punishment and negative punishment in operant conditioning?

Positive punishment involves presentation of an aversive event following a behavior, while negative punishment involves losing or failing to obtain reinforcement previously associated with behavior Signup and view all the answers

What is the key difference between a fixed-ratio (FR) schedule and a variable-ratio (VR) schedule of reinforcement in operant conditioning?

In a FR schedule, reinforcement occurs at a fixed rate according to the number of operant responses emitted, while in a VR schedule, reinforcement occurs at an unpredictable rate according to the number of operant responses emitted Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between a fixed-interval (FI) schedule and a variable-interval (VI) schedule of reinforcement in operant conditioning?

In a FI schedule, reinforcement occurs only after a fixed amount of time has passed, while in a VI schedule, the animal cannot predict how long the time interval will be Signup and view all the answers
