QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
RATED A+
Three major models of learning? Correct Answer -Classical
(respondent or Pavlovian)
-Operant (Skinnerian)
-Observational (modeling)
Operant Conditioning (Skinner) Correct Answer Behaviors
maintained (reinforced) by its consequences
Reinforcement Correct Answer Increasing likelihood of
maintaining behavior
Behavior is determined by? Correct Answer their environment;
thus rating humans as inherently "good" or "bad" is useless
Albert Ellis insists that humans are just fallible beings who are?
Correct Answer Going to make mistake and think distortedly, so
there is no reason to condemn anyone for bad behavior
,Adaption means? Correct Answer Survival
The cognitive model is the foundation of the major models of
cognitive therapy what does it propose? Correct Answer that our
emotions and behavior are simply the product of our perceptions
of situations "the way you think affects how you feel"
Positive Reinforcers Correct Answer increase the likelihood of a
behavior occurring because something is added following the
appearance of a desired behavior
Negative Reinforcers Correct Answer increase the probability of a
behavior through the removal of aversive stimuli
Punishment Correct Answer suppresses behavior
Primary reinforcers are? Correct Answer Food and sex, because
they relate to the evolutionary goals of survival and reproduction
Extinction Correct Answer when the reinforcement maintaining
behavior is removed and a response becomes less frequent and
finally disappears
,What is the most important to know about extinction? Correct
Answer -that in the early process, "emotional behaviors" such as
anger or frustration may occur.
-the target behavior may temporarily intensify under extinction
conditions before it disappears intensify
Continuous Reinforcement Correct Answer when reinforcements
are given after every response
Intermittent Reinforcement Correct Answer when reinforcement is
given after only some responses and not others
What is a fact about intermittent reinforcement? Correct Answer it
is extremely resistant to extinction
What is a fact about continuous reinforcement? Correct Answer
Produces much less resistance
Shaping Correct Answer responses that gradually more closely
resemble the desired behavior are reinforced in a progression
Observational learning Correct Answer is much more efficient to
learn a behavior vicariously than to randomly emit behaviors to be
shaped by the environment
, What is Modeling Theory Correct Answer it combines readily with
operant theory because the consequences of the modeled
behavior for the model influence the observers behavior as well
Punished behavior can be? Correct Answer learned
observationally and displayed when the punishment
contingencies are not known to be in effect
Schemas Correct Answer cognitive structures that organize the
barrage of information, they help us create meaning out of what
otherwise would be a bewildering array of stimuli, both internal
and external. Tus help us behave in ways that help us achieve our
ends
Schemas can be? Correct Answer dormant or active, but we are
mostly unaware of them
Schemas influence? Correct Answer the selection, encoding, and
retrieval of information in the cognitive system. THey contain
general knowledge, core beliefs, and emotional elements relevant
to a particular domain of experience, including things like
assumptions and standards
Automatic Thoughts (AT) Correct Answer a normal feature of a
cognitive process. They can be swift, evaluative statements or
