1 of 8
What is habituation?
Decreased response to a repeated stimulus dictated by the nervous system
2 of 8
What is positive punishment in operant conditioning?
Deter a response by presenting something negative
3 of 8
What is shaping in operant conditioning?
Reinforcing successive approximations towards desired responses to teach new behaviours
4 of 8
What is the difference between primary and secondary reinforcers?
Primary satisfy biological needs and secondary create possible opportunity to satisfy biological need indirectly

A schedule describes different patterns and frequencies of reinforcements. If a response is reinforced after a certain percentage of responses have occurred, and the percentage that passes is always 25%, what type of schedule is this?
Partial: Ratio and fixed

Observational learning occurs when modelling other's behaviour. What is the correct order of Bandura's stages of observational learning?
Attention, retention, reproduction, motivation

The ability to learn depends on networks of brain structures and brain's ability to adapt. What does the Hebb rule say to expand on this theory?
