What is latent learning?

200

A natural reinforcer is known as this type of reinforcer

What is a primary reinforcer?

200

Inflatable prop used in the Bandura experiment

What is extinction. The association between the bell and salivation will weaken over time until it is forgotten entirely.
500

What is a Fixed-Ratio Reinforcement Schedule
500
In Operant Conditioning, the process of a test subject getting closer and closer to the desired behavior each time they are reinforced or punished.
What is shaping?
500
A cognitive limitation, sometimes learning was demonstrated until after an incentive was given to the test subject. This term describes this phenomenon.
