Rate correct answers measure of behavior is frequency with which a behavior occurs in a set
period of time
Topography correct answers Physical form or shape of a behavior that is measurable and
malleable
Number of errors correct answers Recording the # of times a mistake was made (error rate)
Intensity correct answers ex: loudness of someone's voice
Interval recording correct answers over a period of time, measuring off and on every 10 minutes
time sampling recording correct answers at the start of every hour, measure for 10 min
Habituation correct answers Decrease in the response repeated presentations of the same
stimulus
Sensitization correct answers increase in the response with repeated presentation of the same
stimulus - helps us respond to a threat
Dishabituation correct answers habituate to a stimulus; present new stimulus; present old
stimulus; response returns

stimulus; response returns
Opponent Process theory correct answers Some stimulus elicits A response; A response elicits B
response
Conditioned vs. unconditioned correct answers learned vs. unlearned
, Temporal conditioning correct answers time is the conditioned stimulus
Suppression ratio correct answers # bar presses during conditioned stimulus/ # presses during
CS + # presses before CS
Inhibitory Conditioning correct answers CS+ signals that US Will occur; CS- signals that US
WILL NOT occur
Generalization vs. Discrimination correct answers Response to stimulus is similar to the original
CS vs. Can tell the difference b/w CS & new stimulus

Disinhibition correct answers Phenomenon provides evidence that extinction involves the
suppression of a response
Factors of phobia establishment correct answers Only requires one pairing of CS with aversive
US; often grows stronger over time (avoidance)
Observational learning - social learning
Temperament - level of emotional reactivity
Preparedness - innate tendency to learn some associations more than others
Incubation - strengthening of an already established response to an aversive CS after several
brief exposures to CS itself; opposite of extinction
Reevaluation - changing the response to the US after future experiences
Selective sensitization - increase in reactivity following exposure to an unrelated stressful event
History of control - having control over your life immunizes you to extreme fear from novel
objects and contexts
Flooding correct answers Prevent avoidance behaviors; higher risk of stress
three part contingency correct answers S-R-S; Antecedent - Behavior - Consequence
