    1. teacher
    2. model
    3. instructor
    4. coach

    1. ignored the doll
    2. played nicely with the doll
    3. played with tinker toys

    2. motivation, attention, reproduction, retention

    What is a form of learning in which the stimulus experience happens after the behavior is demonstrated?

    Operant conditioning is a form of learning in which the motivation for a behavior happens after the behavior is demonstrated. An animal or a human receives a consequence after performing a specific behavior.

    What is stimulus response pairing?

    The pairing of a stimulus, anything present in the environment which the subject (or learner) can feel through his or her senses, and a response, any behavior on the part of the subject, forms the principal mechanism of learning in behaviorist psychology.

    Which learning process occurs when the same response happens in reaction to many similar stimuli?

    Stimulus generalization occurs when a stimulus that is similar to an already-conditioned stimulus begins to produce the same response as the original stimulus does. Stimulus discrimination occurs when the organism learns to differentiate between the CS and other similar stimuli.

    What two stimuli must be paired together for classical conditioning to occur?

    In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus must be paired with a neutral stimulus in order to create an association between the neutral stimulus and the desired behavior.
