The law of effect refers to the tendency to. repeat rewarded behaviors and discontinue punished behaviors.

| A | B |
|---|---|
| Reinforcement | Any event that strengthens, or increases the frequency of, a preceding response (behavior) |
| Positive Reinforcement | The presentation of favorable or pleasureable stimulus |
| Negative Reinforcemnt | The removal of an aversive stimulus (punishment) |
Q. Is a relatively permanent change in behavior or behavioral potential that occurs due to experience?
Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience. Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience. Demonstrates some depth and breadth of understanding about operant conditioning theory.
Q. What was wrong with the Little Albert experiment?
Watson and Rayner did not develop an objective means to evaluate Albert’s reactions, instead of relying on their own subjective interpretations. The experiment also raises many ethical concerns. Little Albert was harmed during this experiment—he left the experiment with a previously nonexistent fear.
Q. What is the linking of a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response?
In classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response.
Q. What do you call a stimulus that was once irrelevant but now triggers a learned response because of an association?
Unconditioned Stimulus (US) The learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus. Conditioned Response (CR) An originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response. Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Q. What is the difference between a conditioned and unconditioned stimulus?
Conditioned Stimulus Vs Unconditioned Stimulus The main difference between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned one is that the former is a product of learned behavior. Unconditioned stimulus refers to any stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a specific response in humans or organisms.
