What is classical conditioning?

Learning through association

Explanation

Association-based learning process.

Who is known for the famous 'Little Albert' experiment in classical conditioning?

John B. Watson

Explanation

Conducted by John B. Watson.

Who proposed the Social Learning Theory, emphasizing the role of observation and imitation in learning?

Albert Bandura

Explanation

Albert Bandura's theory.

In classical conditioning, what is the unconditioned response?

The response initially elicited by the unconditioned stimulus

Explanation

Natural reaction before conditioning.

What is the process of learning through consequences of actions?

Operant conditioning

Explanation

Learning via outcome feedback.

Which type of reinforcement involves reinforcing a behavior every time it occurs?

Continuous reinforcement

Explanation

Reinforcement after each action.

Who introduced the concept of operant conditioning?

B.F. Skinner

Explanation

Introduced by B.F. Skinner.

What is the term for the process of learning by observing others' behaviors and the consequences of those behaviors?

Social learning

Explanation

Learning via observation.

What is the term for the gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus?

Extinction

Explanation

Conditioned response fading.

#10

In operant conditioning, what is negative reinforcement?

Removing something unpleasant to increase a behavior

Explanation

Removing aversive stimulus to reinforce.

#11

What is the term for the tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus?

Generalization

Explanation

Broadening response to similar stimuli.

#12

What is shaping in operant conditioning?

Gradually strengthening a target behavior by reinforcing successive approximations

Explanation

Incremental behavior reinforcement.

#13

Who introduced the concept of 'law of effect' in the context of operant conditioning?

Edward Thorndike

Explanation

Proposed by Edward Thorndike.

#14

What is the process of decreasing a behavior by removing a desired stimulus?

Negative punishment

Explanation

Removing a positive reinforcer.

#15

In classical conditioning, what is the term for the weakening of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus?

Extinction

Explanation

Gradual response fading.

#16

What is the term for learning that occurs without reinforcement, but is not immediately reflected in behavior?

Latent learning

Explanation

Hidden but effective learning.

#17

Which of the following is an example of negative punishment?

Removing TV privileges for breaking curfew

Explanation

Punishment via privilege removal.

#18

Which psychologist is associated with the Bobo doll experiment, demonstrating observational learning?

Albert Bandura

Explanation

Albert Bandura's famous study.

#19

According to Bandura's social learning theory, what are the four processes involved in observational learning?

Attention, retention, reproduction, motivation

Explanation

Key stages of observational learning.

#20

What is the term for the tendency to respond differently to similar stimuli if they are predictive of different outcomes?

Discrimination

Explanation

Differentiation based on outcomes.

#21

What is the process by which a behavior is followed by a consequence that decreases the likelihood of the behavior recurring called?

Punishment

Explanation

Behavioral suppression.

#22

What is the concept in operant conditioning where a behavior is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses?

Variable-ratio schedule

Explanation

Random reinforcement timing.

#23

According to operant conditioning principles, what is a primary reinforcer?

A reinforcer that inherently satisfies a biological need

Explanation

Biologically rewarding stimulus.

#24

What is the phenomenon where a previously extinguished conditioned response reemerges after the conditioned stimulus is presented again?

Spontaneous recovery

Explanation

Resurgence of conditioned response.

#25

In operant conditioning, what is the term for the process of reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior?

Shaping

Explanation

Molding behavior toward goal.
