- raul wants to teach his daughter sonia to tie her shoes. first he praises her when she manipulates her shoelaces in any way. then he praises her when she makes a simple knot. once she does that consistently, he praises her only when she makes the knot and loop. he continues the pattern until she can do all the steps required to tie her shoes. rauls actions are an example of which of the following techniques?
a. modeling
b. elaborative rehearsal
c. shaping
d. classical conditioning
- Stimulus discrimination is distinguishing a specific stimulus (circle) to earn a reward, matching the scenario.
- Taste aversion is a learned avoidance of a food after it causes illness, which matches the person's reaction to hamburgers.
- Extinction (fall in conditioned response) occurs when the conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (UCS) are no longer paired.
- Stimulus generalization is reacting to a similar stimulus (stuffed dog) the same way as the original (real dogs that cause allergies).
- Fixed ratio reinforcement rewards after a set number of responses (20 cell phones sold for a bonus).
- Secondary reinforcers (stars) gain value from association with primary reinforcers (toys from the chest).
- Insight learning is a sudden realization of a solution after struggling with a problem, matching Dylan's experience.
- Negative reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus (nagging) by performing a behavior, which drives Elizabeth's action.
- Shaping is reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior (steps to tie shoes) until the full task is mastered.
