Term
Definition
show a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience  
🗑
habituation   show
🗑
show learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning  
🗑
classical conditioning   show
🗑
behaviorism   show
🗑
unconditioned response (UR)   show
🗑
unconditioned stimulus (US)   show
🗑
conditioned response (CR)   show
🗑
show in classical conditioned, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response  
🗑
higherorder conditioning   show
🗑
show the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when a unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant condition when a response is no longer reinforced  
🗑
show the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response  
🗑
show the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit responses  
🗑
discrimination   show
🗑
show the hopelessness and passive resignation an animal or human learns when unable to avoid repeated aversive events  
🗑
show behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus  
🗑
operant conditioning   show
🗑
operant behavior   show
🗑
show Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more like, that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely  
🗑
show in operant conditioning research, a chamber (also known as a Skinner box) containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain food or water reinforce; attached devices record the animal's rate of bar pressing or key pecking  
🗑
shaping   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a stimulus that elicits a response after association with reinforcement (in contrast to related stimuli not associated with reinforcement)  
🗑
show in operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows  
🗑
show increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforce in any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response  
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
show an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need  
🗑
conditioned reinforcer   show
🗑
continuous reinforcement   show
🗑
partial (intermittent) reinforcement   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses  
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses  
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed  
🗑
variable interval schedule   show
🗑
punishment   show
🗑
cognitive map   show
🗑
latent learning   show
🗑
show a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem  
🗑
show a desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake  
🗑
extrinsic motivation   show
🗑
observational learning   show
🗑

🗑
mirror neurons   show
🗑

🗑
show subject in John Watson's experiment, proved classical conditioning principles, especially the generalization of fear

🗑
Martin Seligman   show
🗑
B.F. Skinner   show
🗑

🗑
John Watson   show
🗑
biofeedback   show
🗑
show learning by observing others  
🗑
