What are cognitive learning theories?
300
The process of repeatedly associating a previously neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus in order to evoke a conditioned response.
What is classical conditioning?
300
Withdrawl of a pleasant consequence that is reinforcing a behavior, designed to decrease the chances that the behavior will recur.
What is removal punishment?
300
Reinforcement schedule in which desired behavior is rewarded following an unpredicable number of behaviors, creates a high, steady response rate during reinforcement and a high response rate during extinction, then drops off

Learning based on observation of the consequences of others' behavior

500
A behavior that is prompted automatically by a stimulus
What is an unconditioned response?
500
Consequences that follow behaviors closely in time affect behavior far more than delayed concequences do.

500
The frequency and predictability of reinforcement
What is a schedule of reinforcement?
