Scientifically skeptical - ANSWER Until there is evidence available, assumptions cannot be made structionalism - ANSWER relied on introspection which looks inward to describe sensations, positivism and feelings methodological - ANSWER thought of as a psychological version of logical positivism or operationism ontogeny - ANSWER is a learned behavior of a particular animal during its lifetim phylogency - ANSWER behaviors that have been passed down over the lifetime of the entire species Behaviorism - ANSWER Behaviorism is not the science of human behavior; it is the philosophy of that science (Skinner, 1974 pg 3) Pavlov - ANSWER 1. Respondent conditioning 2. he carefully controlled conditions that allowed him to show that particular stimuli can acquire (respond) the ability to elicit secretion 3. He avoided BOTH mentalistic and explanatory fictions conditioning - ANSWER 1. extends the scope of eliciting stimulus 2. does NOT bring all the behavior within stimulus control 3. can add different eliciting stimuli but will never fashion a novel response contingencies of reinforcement - ANSWER have edge for survival b/c prediction and control and the conditions under which a species acquires behavior are relatively accessible and can be manipulated genes - ANSWER predispose an individual's susceptibility to the influences from the environment. Genes do not cause behavior- they set up physical basis for the processes and structures that participate in behavior. imitative responses - ANSWER require the learner to orient towards the model NOT topographical correspondence of the behavior Law of Effect (Thorndike) - ANSWER Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by pleasant stimulus become more likely (increase), and that behaviors followed by negative stimulus become less likely (decrease) free will - ANSWER operant conditioning does NOT suggest that organisms cannot control their own behaviors b/c of lack of free will. Operant conditioning states that once the environment is understood, it can be altered in our favor extinction - ANSWER when reinforcement is no longer present must have reinforcement history to determine resistance to extinction shorter periods will extinguish sooner longer history will take more time punishment - ANSWER punishment reduces future instances of a behavior never responsible for skill acquisition measurement of behavior - ANSWER skinner suggested we use frequency we do not have to assume a level of intrinsic motivation- we can use observable variables in the environment to explain the increase or decrease in behavior non responses - ANSWER are NOT errors operant response class - ANSWER b/c we cannot predict a response that has already occurred, we assume similar responses in the future will occur purpose - ANSWER there is a functional relation between the behavior and the environment and the consequences can chain together in numerous ways indefinitely. NOT a mental phenomenon that influences behavior Verbal behavior - ANSWER verbal behavior communities will influence the repertoire of the speaker. socially appropriate verbal behavior can occur spontaneously without environmental support non verbal - ANSWER Does not mean non vocal! word meaning - ANSWER Contingencies that have been shaped by the listener and their responses Lindsley - ANSWER Created precision teaching using rate of response (frequency) and cumulative response Frequency data is 10-100 times more sensitive to programming change than % correct
