| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| conditioned reinforcer | stimulus that acquired reinforcing properties through conditioning |
| negative reinforcement: following a response | aversive stimulus removed or attenuated, increases future probability |
| unconditioned punisher | punishing stimulus, did not require prior learning |
| operant extinction as a procedure | discontinuation of reinforcement for previously reinforced behavior |
| conditioned punisher | stimulus that acquired punishing properties through conditioning |
| generalized conditioned reinforcer | conditioned reinforcer paired with variety of other reinforcers, effective for range of behaviors |
| operant extinction as a process | a decrease in the likelihood of occurrence of members of a response class, due to those members no longer contacting the reinforcer |
| reinforcement | environmental change following a response, increases future probability |
| generalized conditioned punisher | conditioned punisher paired with variety of other punishers, effective for range of behaviors |
| automaticity | automatic effect of reinforcement and punishment |
| negative punishment: following a response | appetitive stimulus removed or attenuated, decreases future probability |
| positive punishment: following a response | aversive stimulus presented or magnified, decreases future probability |
| operant conditioning: repeated cycles of | selection of behavior by the environment through consequences |
| socially mediated punishment | punishment is mediated by another person |
| operant behavior: effect | behavior that has an effect on the environment |
| positive reinforcement: following a response | appetitive stimulus presented or magnified, increases future probability |
| unconditioned reinforcer | reinforcing stimulus, did not require prior learning |
| escape behavior | behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus |
| punishment | environmental change following a response, decreases future probability |
| automatic reinforcer | reinforcement for the response is produced by the response |
| avoidance behavior | behavior that terminated a warning stimulus prevents aversive stimulus |
| law of effect: organisms learn through | consequences of their actions |
