Document Summary
Continuous reinforcement: reinforcing the desired behavior every time it occurs. Intermittent (partial) reinforcement: responses are reinforced some of the time. Ex: gambling w slot machines (win rarely & unpredictably) Fixed-ratio schedule: reinforces behavior after a set number of responses. Variable-ratio schedule: reinforces behavior after an unpredictable number of responses. Fixed-interval schedule: reinforces the first response after a fixed period of time. Variable-interval schedule: reinforces the first response after an unpredictable interval of time. Ratio refers to the number of responses. Interval refers to the number of times. Fixed refers if it"s a set number of behavior/time that must pass. Variable refers to the unpredictability/changing number of behaviors or amount of time. Observational learning: is learning that occurs by observing and imitating others. The pioneer researcher in the field of observational learning is albert bandura. One of the important discoveries were the novel aggression (taking an observation and taking it to the next level)
