EDF 6222 Midterm

Scientifically skeptical - correct answer Until there is evidence available,
assumptions cannot be made



structionalism - correct answer relied on introspection which looks inward to
describe sensations, positivism and feelings



methodological - correct answer thought of as a psychological version of
logical positivism or operationism



ontogeny - correct answer is a learned behavior of a particular animal during
its lifetim



phylogency - correct answer behaviors that have been passed down over the
lifetime of the entire species



Behaviorism - correct answer Behaviorism is not the science of human
behavior; it is the philosophy of that science (Skinner, 1974 pg 3)



Pavlov - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct answer require the learner to orient towards the
model NOT topographical correspondence of the behavior



Law of Effect (Thorndike) - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct answer punishment reduces future instances of a
behavior

never responsible for skill acquisition



measurement of behavior - correct 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
