Classical or Operant?
Correct - Well done!
Not quite - When a learner can consciously choose a behavior and attribute a consequence of that choice, it is Operant Conditioning.
Correct! Classical Conditioning affects emotional, reflexive responses, which make lasting impressions and can cause "automatic" behavior.
Oops. Classical Conditioning affects emotional, reflexive responses, which make lasting impressions and can cause "automatic" behavior.
Stages of Learning
Exactly! The correct answer is Adding a Cue.
Oops. The correct answer is Adding a Cue.
Correct! This stage is Fluency.
Not quite. The correct answer is Fluency
Lovely! Yes, this is Acquisition.
Oops. The correct answer is Acquisition.
Bam! You got it - Generalization.
Not quite. The correct answer is Generalization.
Perfect - the answer is Maintenance.
Oops. The correct answer is Maintenance.
Nailed it! Fading Prompts is correct.
Oops. The correct answer is Fading Prompts.
You've got it! The best answer is Acquisition; Adding a Cue; Fading Prompts; Generalization; Fluency; Maintenance.
Doggone it. Although every training plan is flexible and you may combine some elements of various stages, the best answer is Acquisition; Adding a Cue; Fading Prompts; Generalization; Fluency; Maintenance.
What Type of Learning or Method is Used?
Give your best answer for the type of learning is taking place OR which method is being used in each of the following scenarios.
Note: These are NOT all methods we endorse. These questions are to help you solidify your understanding of the terms used.
Yes! The correct answer is Positive Reinforcement because a treat was added as a consequence and going to bed increased.
Oops. The correct answer is Positive Reinforcement because a treat was added as a consequence and going to bed increased.
Yep -The correct answer on this one is Luring with Shaping - a Positive Reinforcement method that is very effective.
Oops. The correct answer on this one is Luring with Shaping - a Positive Reinforcement method that is very effective.
Exactly! It's Classical Conditioning because the doorbell triggers an emotional response in the puppy. There is no specific behavior and consequence relationship being described - this is about an association between the sound and a feeling.
Not quite. The correct answer here is Classical Conditioning because the doorbell triggers an emotional response in the puppy. There is no specific behavior and consequence relationship being described - this is about an association between the sound and a feeling.
That's right - this is Positive Punishment because the dog connected the lamp falling on him to his jumping on the couch and the behavior decreased.
Oops. This is Positive Punishment because the dog connected the lamp falling on him to his jumping on the couch and the behavior decreased. (Remember: you are not the only source of consequences!)
Shazam! It is Classical Conditioning because the rain (formerly neutral) is now a trigger for the fearful emotion. There is an association being made, regardless of behavioral choice.
Oops. The correct answer is classical conditioning because the rain (formerly neutral) is now a trigger for the fearful emotion. There is an association being made, regardless of behavioral choice.
That's correct! It's Premack Principle because walking next to the handler is reinforced by running, which the dog likes more.
Not quite. The correct answer is Premack Principle because walking next to the handler is reinforced by running, which the dog likes more.
That's right; this is Positive Punishment because the consequence of jumping into the dishwasher was an unpleasant loud noise which decreased the behavior.
Doggone it. The correct answer is Positive Punishment because the consequence of jumping into the dishwasher was an unpleasant loud noise which decreased the behavior.
Exactly - This is Classical Conditioning because just the sight of the beetle caused a reflexive response of disgust in the dog. There was no behavior that led to a consequence, simply an association learned from a previous experience.
Oops. The correct answer is Classical Conditioning because just the sight of the beetle caused a reflexive response of disgust in the dog. There was no behavior that led to a consequence, simply an association learned from a previous experience.
