What is the difference between Active learning and Passive learning?

• Active learning is about reading only, while passive learning involves discussions and experiments.
• Passive learning is more interactive than active learning.
• Passive learning involves engaging with the material through activities like discussions, experiments, and problem-solving, while active learning is more about receiving information through lectures, reading, or watching videos.

Learning by copying the behavior of someone else

• Modeling
• Shaping

• Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning

A method of increasing a targeted behavior through reinforcement in a process of successive approximation

• Shaping
• Modeling
• Forming
• Molding

Strengthens a response or behavior by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome or aversive stimulus

• Positive reinforcement
• Punishment
• Negative reinforcement
• Extinction

Strengthens a behavior by adding something pleasurable as a reward after the occurrence of the behavior.

• Positive reinforcement
• Punishment
• Negative reinforcement
• Extinction

What is Continuous reinforcement?

• Continuous reinforcement is a reinforcement schedule where a behavior is reinforced every time it occurs.
• Continuous reinforcement is a reinforcement schedule where a behavior is reinforced only on odd-numbered occurrences.
• Continuous reinforcement is a reinforcement schedule where a behavior is reinforced randomly.
• Continuous reinforcement is a reinforcement schedule where a behavior is reinforced only on even-numbered occurrences.

What is Partial reinforcement schedule?

• Partial reinforcement schedule is a type of classical conditioning
• Partial reinforcement schedule is a type of reinforcement where the behavior is always rewarded
• Partial reinforcement schedule is a type of operant conditioning where the desired behavior is reinforced only part of the time.
• Partial reinforcement schedule is a type of punishment for undesired behavior

A response is reinforced only after a specified number of responses.

• Variable Ratio schedule

• Fixed interval schedule

• Fixed Ratio schedule

• Variable interval schedule

When a response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.
