Albert Bandura. Based on the work of Robert Rescorla, some scientists believe that animals: have developed specific characteristics to maximize adaptation to the environment. use cognitive processes to draw inferences about the signals they encounter in their environment. The learning principle that proposes that responses followed by a satisfying effect are strengthened and MORE likely to occur again is called the: unconditioned stimulus. law of effect. Dr. Yates claims to feel more awake and "ready to go" within 2 minutes of his first sip of coffee in the morning. Given that it takes at least 20 minutes for caffeine to reach significant levels in one's bloodstream, it is likely that Dr. Yates is experiencing a(n) ______ response to the sight, smell, and taste of coffee. classically unconditioned classically conditioned The basis of learning in operant conditioning involves the association of a ______ and the ______ that follows it. response; consequence response; consequence If you had been invited to a party at the home of John B.
