Stimulus generalization in classical conditioning, occurs when a new stimulus that resembles the conditioned stimulus elicits the conditioned response
Stimulus discrimination the tendency to respond differently to two or more similar stimuli; in classical conditioning, occurs when a stimulus similar to the conditioned stimulus fails to evoke a conditioned response
Classical conditioning the process by which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the capacity to elicit a response through association with a stimulus that already elicits a similar response
Operant conditioning the process by which a response becomes more likely to occur or less so, depending on its consequences
Positive reinforcement when a pleasant consequence follows a response, making the response more likely to recur
Negative reinforcement when an unpleasant consequence is removed following a response, making the response more likely to recur
Positive punishment when an unpleasant consequence follows a response, making the response less likely to recur
Negative punishment when a pleasant consequence is removed following a response, making the response less likely to recur
