Psychology

a learning procedure in which associations are made between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus

a stimulus that does not initially elicit any part of an unconditioned response

an event that elicits a certain predictable response typically without previous training

an organisms automatic reaction to a stimulus

a once- neutral event that elicits a given response after a period of training in which it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus

the learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus

responding similary to a range of a similar stimulus

the ability to a respond differently to a similar but distinct stimulus

the gradual disappearance of a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without without the unconditioned stimulus

learning in which a certain action is reinforced or punished, resulting in corresponding increases or decreases in occurrence

stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the likelihood that the response will be repeated

stimulus that is naturally rewarding such as food or water

stimulus such as money that becomes rewarding through its link with primary reinforcement

a pattern of reinforcement in whicha specific number of correct responses is required before reinforcement can be obtained

a pattern of reinforcement in whichg an unpredictable number of responses are required before reinforcement can be obtained

a pattern of reinforcement in which a specific amount of time must elaspe before a response will elicit reinforcement

a pattern of reinforcement in which changing amounts of time must elapse before a response will obtain reinforcement

technique in which the desired behavior is molded by first rewarding any act similar to that behavior and then rerquiring ever closer approximations to the desired behavior before giving the reward

learned reactions that follow one another in a sequence. each reactionb producing the signal for the next

process of influencing behavior by means of unpleasant stimuli

increasing the strength of a given response by removing or preventing a painful stimulus when the response occurs

training of an organism to remove or terminate an unpleasant stimulus

training an orgainsm to respond so as to prevent the occurrence of an unpleasant stimulus

process of altering behavior by observing and imitating the behavior of others

form of altering behavior that involves mental processes and may result from observation or imitation

a mental picture of spatial relationships or relationships between events

alteration of a behavioral tendency that is not demonstrated by an immedeiate, observable change in behavior

systematic application of learning principles to change peoples actions and feelings

condition in which desirable behavior is reinforced with valueless objects which can be accumulated and exchanged for valued rewards
