In behavioral psychology, what is the term for learning by observing others?

Observational learning

Explanation

Observational learning: learning through observing others' actions and consequences.

Which psychological principle suggests that individuals are more likely to repeat behaviors that are followed by desirable outcomes?

Law of Effect

Explanation

Law of Effect: behaviors followed by desirable consequences are more likely to be repeated.

What term describes the process of associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response?

Acquisition

Explanation

Acquisition: initial learning stage where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus.

Which concept suggests that behaviors followed by desirable consequences are more likely to be repeated?

Positive reinforcement

Explanation

Positive reinforcement: reinforcing desired behavior to increase its frequency.

What is the process called when a conditioned response diminishes because it is no longer reinforced?

Extinction

Shaping

Explanation

Shaping: reinforcing behaviors gradually closer to the desired behavior.

#11
