Question
Answer
Learning   show
🗑
show when two stimuli become associated with one another, such that one stimulus now triggers a response that previously was triggered by the other stimulus  
🗑
show Organisms learn to associate their responses with specific consequences. So punish behaviors you want to discourage and reward behaviors you want to encourage.

show focus on how an organism's behavior changes in response to environmental stimuli encountered during its lifetime

🗑
show the organism learns a response to terminate an aversive stimulus (put on a hoodie when you're cold)

show the organism learns a response to avoid an aversive stimulus (wear a hoodie in the first place when you know it's gonna be cold)  
🗑

🗑
show desirable behaviors are reinforced with tokens that are later turned in for other reinforcers (money, spin to wins)  
🗑
show combines a behavioral approach with the scientific method to solve individual and societal problems  
🗑
show through evolution, animals are biologically predisposed to learn some associations more easily than others

show a conditioned response in which the taste (& sometimes the sight and smell) of a particular food becomes disgusting and repulsive

show the tendency for a conditioned response to drift back toward instinctive behavior  
🗑
show the sudden perception of a useful relationship that helps to solve a problem  
🗑
show a mental representation of the spatial layout  
🗑
show learning that occurs but is not demonstrated until later when there is an incentive to perform

show learning that occurs by observing the behavior of a model. Like bobo doll.
