Prosocial modeling can prompt others to engage in helpful and healthy behaviors, while antisocial modeling can prompt others to engage in violent, aggressive, and unhealthy behaviors.
Solution to Exercise 5.6 (p. 25)
Cara is more likely to drink at the party because she has observed her parents drinking regularly. Children tend to follow what a parent does rather than what they say.
GLOSSARY 27
Glossary
A
acquisitionperiod of initial learning in classical conditioning in which a human or an animal begins to connect a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus will begin to elicit the conditioned response
associative learning
form of learning that involves connecting certain stimuli or events that occur together in the environment (classical and operant conditioning)
C
classical conditioninglearning in which the stimulus or experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired or associated with the behavior
cognitive map
mental picture of the layout of the environment
conditioned response (CR)
response caused by the conditioned stimulus
conditioned stimulus (CS)
stimulus that elicits a response due to its being paired with an unconditioned stimulus
continuous reinforcement
rewarding a behavior every time it occurs
E
extinctiondecrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the conditioned stimulus
F
xed interval reinforcement schedule behavior is rewarded after a set amount oftime
xed ratio reinforcement schedule
set number of responses must occur before a behavior is rewarded
H
habituationwhen we learn not to respond to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly thought to be more prevalent in lower animals than in humans
L
latent learninglearning that occurs, but it may not be evident until there is a reason to demonstrate it
law of eect
behavior that is followed by consequences satisfying to the organism will be repeated and behaviors that are followed by unpleasant consequences will be discouraged
learning
change in behavior or knowledge that is the result of experience
M
modelperson who performs a behavior that serves as an example (in observational learning)
N
negative punishmenttaking away a pleasant stimulus to decrease or stop a behavior negative reinforcement

28 GLOSSARY taking away an undesirable stimulus to
increase a behavior neutral stimulus (NS)
stimulus that does not initially elicit a response
O
observational learningtype of learning that occurs by watching others
operant conditioning
form of learning in which the
stimulus/experience happens after the behavior is demonstrated
P
partial reinforcementrewarding behavior only some of the time positive punishment
adding an undesirable stimulus to stop or decrease a behavior
positive reinforcement
adding a desirable stimulus to increase a behavior
primary reinforcer
has innate reinforcing qualities (e.g., food, water, shelter, sex)
punishment
implementation of a consequence in order to decrease a behavior
R
reexunlearned, automatic response by an organism to a stimulus in the environment
reinforcement
implementation of a consequence in order to increase a behavior
S
secondary reinforcerhas no inherent value unto itself and only has reinforcing qualities when linked with something else (e.g., money, gold stars, poker chips)
ability to respond dierently to similar stimuli
stimulus generalization
demonstrating the conditioned response to stimuli that are similar to the
conditioned stimulus
U
unconditioned response (UCR) natural (unlearned) behavior to a givenstimulus
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
stimulus that elicits a reexive response
V
variable interval reinforcement schedule behavior is rewarded after unpredictableamounts of time have passed
variable ratio reinforcement schedule number of responses dier before a
behavior is rewarded vicarious punishment
process where the observer sees the model punished, making the observer less likely to imitate the model's behavior
vicarious reinforcement
process where the observer sees the model rewarded, making the observer more likely to imitate the model's behavior
