Question
Answer
show a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.  
🗑
show behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus; Skinner's term for behavior learned through classical conditioning.  
🗑
operant behavior   show
🗑
show Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely.  
🗑
show a chamber also known as a Skinner box, containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer, with attached devices to record the animal's rate of bar pressing or key pecking. Used in operant conditioning research.  
🗑
shaping   show
🗑
reinforcer   show
🗑
positive reinforcement   show
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
show an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need.  
🗑
show a stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer; also known as secondary reinforcer.  
🗑
show reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs.  
🗑
partial reinforcement   show
🗑

🗑
cognitive map   show
🗑

🗑
conditioned stimulus   show
🗑

🗑
unconditioned response   show
🗑
show a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience.  
🗑
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
🗑
acquisition   show
🗑
show the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
