| unconditioned stimuli | a stimulus that produces a response without prior learning |
| conditioned stimuli | a previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicits the conditioned response after being associated with the unconditioned stimulus. |
| unconditioned response | an unlearned response that is automatically elicited by an unconditioned stimulus |
| conditioned response | the learned response to the conditioned stimulus that occurs after the pairing of a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus. |
| reinforcement | the process by which a stumulus or an event strengthens or increases the probability of a behavior or an event that it follows. |
| punishment | a consequence that decreases the likelihood a behavior will occur. |
| learned helplessness | the phenomenon of learning through experience that outcomes are not controllable |
| positive reinforcement | following a behavior with a rewarding stimulus to increase the frequency of the behavior |
| positive punishment | a behavior decreases when it is followed by an unpleasant stimulus |
| negative reinforcement | following a behavior with the removal of an aversive stimulus to increase the frequency of the behavior |
| negative punishment | a behavior decreases when a positive stimulus is removed from it |
