Question
Answer
show a process by which experience produces a relatively enduring change in an organism's behavior or capabilities  
🗑
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 (CC) a response elicited by a conditioned stimulus  
🗑
show (CC) a process in which the CS is presented repeatedly in the absence of the UCS, causing the CR to weaken and eventually disappear  
🗑
show (CC) the reappearance of a previously extinguished CR after a rest period and without new learning trials  
🗑

🗑

🗑

🗑
show a type of learning in which behavior is influenced by the consequences that follow it  
🗑
show in a given situation, a response followed by a satisfying consequence will become more likely to occur and a response followed by an annoying consequence will become less likely to occur

show a signal that a particular response will now produce certain consequences  
🗑

🗑
show stimuli, such as food and water, that an organism naturally finds reinforcing because they satisfy biological needs  
🗑

🗑
show a response is strengthened by the subsequent removal (or avoidance) of an aversive stimulus (advil and headaches)  
🗑
show the weakening and eventual disappearance of a response because it is no longer reinforced  
🗑
show a response is weakened by the subsequent presentation of a stimulus (spanking)  
🗑
show a response is weakened by the subsequent removal of a stimulus (toy taken away)  
🗑

🗑
Shaping*   show
🗑
show an operant response to a new antecedent stimulus or situation that is similar to the original one (not touching any stovetops)
