Modeling Associational learning The law of exercise The law of effect Question 9 1 / 1 pts What is the mechanism that accounts for change in social learning? Modeling
The law of effect Associational learning The law of exercise Question 10 1 / 1 pts Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning was very similar to that of Thorndike’s Law of Effect. He found that learning is guided by which of the following? the role of reflexes the consequences of the behavior stimulus control the events preceding the response Question 11 1 / 1 pts What is a negative reinforcer? A stimulus that ____________: has the same meaning as the ongoing behavior increases the likelihood of a response increases the likelihood of a response when it is removed
acts as a punishment to decrease the behavior Question 12 1 / 1 pts In the theory of operant conditioning, what is the difference between negative reinforcement and punishment? punishment and negative reinforcement are different terms for the same thing punishment leads to more lasting changes in behavior than negative reinforcement punishment is a consequence that decreases the likelihood an unwanted behavior will recur; a negative reinforcement is a consequence that increases the likelihood a behavior will recur when it is removed negative reinforcements decrease the likelihood of responses; punishments increase the likelihood of responses when they are removed Question 13 1 / 1 pts Which of the following is defined as an expectation that an outcome will not be influenced by any response that a learner makes? learned helplessness resourcefulness learned convergence
