PSYCHOLOGY

"unlearned naturally occurring", involuntary response

involuntary response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus

conditioned stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus

stimulus that has no effect on the desired response

learned reflex response to a conditioned stimulus

the disappearance or weakening of a learned response following the removal or absence of the unconditioned stimulus or the removal of a reinforcer

any event or object that when following a response, increases the likelihood of that response occurring again

the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is only similar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response

the tendency to stop making a generalized response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus because the similar stimulus is never paired with the unconditioned stimulus

any reinforcer that is naturally reinforcing by meeting a basic biological need, such as hunger, thirst or touch.

any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing after being paired with a primary reinforcer, such as praise, tokens and gold stars

learning to make an involuntary response to a stimulus other that the original. natural stimulus that normally produces it.

any event or object that, when following a response, makes that response less likely to happen again.

the punishment of a response by the addition or experiencing of an unpleasant stimulus

the punishment of a response by the removal of a pleasurable stimulus

schedule of reinforcement in which the interval of time that must pass before reinforcement becomes possible is always the same

the tendency for a response that is reinforced after some, but not all, correct responses to be very resistant to extinction.

the reinforcement of each and every correct response

schedule of reinforcement in which the interval of time that must pass before reinforcement becomes possible is always the same

schedule of reinforcement in which the interval of time must pass before reinforcement becomes possible is different for each trial or event

schedule of reinforcement in which the number of resposes required for reinforcement is always the same

schedule of reinforcement in which the number of responses required for reinforcement is different for each trial or event

the reinforcement of simple steps in behavior that lead to a desired, more complex behavior

addition, or experiencing of a pleasurable stimulus

removal, escape, or avoidance of unpleasant stimulus

behavior is determined by its consequences (Skinner)
