Jack Candylover received a good score on his semester one exam and got candies for reward. Next time, he did even better on his exams and got more candies. What type of reinforcement did Jack receive?
-
Positive Reinforcement
-
Negative Reinforcement
-
Law of Effect
-
Primary Reinforcer
Correct Answer
A. Positive ReinforcementExplanation
Jack Candylover received positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is when a desirable stimulus or reward is presented after a behavior, which increases the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. In this case, Jack received candies as a reward for doing well on his exams, which motivated him to perform even better next time.Rate this question:

Neutral Stimulus, Unconditioned Stimulus and Controlled Stimulus are components of __________ conditioning.
-
Operant
-
Neutral
-
Logical
-
Classical
Correct Answer
A. ClassicalExplanation
Neutral Stimulus, Unconditioned Stimulus, and Conditioned Stimulus are all components of classical conditioning. In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus, which naturally elicits a response. Through repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that can elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. This process is fundamental to classical conditioning, which involves learning associations between stimuli and responses.Rate this question:

What is, punishment by application?
-
Situation in which an operant is followed by the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus.
-
Presentation of a stimulus or event following a behavior that acts to decrease the likelihood of the behavior's being repeated.
-
Situation in which a response is followed by the addition of a reinforcing stimulus, increasing the likelihood that the response will be repeated in similar situations
-
An idea that an organism is innately predisposed to form associations between certain stimuli and responses.
Correct Answer
A. Situation in which an operant is followed by the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus.Explanation
Punishment by application refers to a situation in which an operant behavior is followed by the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus. This means that when a behavior occurs, something unpleasant or unwanted is added or presented, which decreases the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. This is a form of punishment that aims to discourage certain behaviors by associating them with negative consequences.Rate this question:

What term does this definition describe? "Learning that occurs in the absence of reinforcement but is not behaviorally demonstrated until a reinforcer becomes available."
-
Operant Conditioning
-
Classical Conditioning
-
Latent Learning
-
Observational Learning
Correct Answer
A. Latent LearningExplanation
Latent learning refers to the process of acquiring knowledge or skills without any immediate reinforcement or demonstration of behavior. This means that an individual learns something without actually showing it until a reinforcer or incentive is presented. In other words, the learning remains hidden or latent until there is a motivation to display it. This concept is different from operant conditioning, classical conditioning, and observational learning, which involve more immediate and observable behavior changes in response to reinforcement, conditioning, or observation of others.Rate this question:
