True
False
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Operant conditioning:
Respuesta
is elicited automatically, reward is contingent on behavior, and behavior depends on voluntary motor behavior (skeletal muscles)
is emitted voluntarily, reward is contingent on behavior, and behavior depends on voluntary motor behavior (skeletal muscles)
is elicited voluntarily, reward is provided unconditionally, and behavior depends on autonomic nervous system
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
The law of effect was put forth by ____ and proposes that____
Respuesta
Skinner; cats are able to escape a puzzle box through their insight – by understanding the link between the S-R (stimulus - response).
Pavlov; punishment is a relatively ineffective mode of changing behavior
Thorndike; learning occurs through trial and error from learned associations between a stimulus (S) and response (R). If rewarded for a response to a stimulus, we are more likely to repeat that response in the future – it’s stamped in.
