a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit an unconditioned response when that neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that normally causes an unconditioned response
What is classical conditioning?
100
a stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the frequency of that response
What is reinforcements?
100
learning that occurs regularly and is distributed over time
What is distributed learning?
100
secondary reinforcer
What is stimuli that increase the probability of a response because of their association with a primary reinforcer?
100
a type of classical conditioning in which a previously desirable or neutral food comes to be perceived as repugnant because it is associated with negative stimulation
What is taste aversion?
200
in classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits an unlearned, automatic response
What is unconditioned stimulus?
200
a timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occurs
What is schedule of reinforcement?
200
learning that does not occur regularly but occurs all at one time
What is massed learning?
200
positive reinforcers
What is encouraging stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior when they are presented?
200
in classical conditioning, the disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus
What is extinction?
300
in classical conditioning, an unlearned, automatic response
What is unconditioned response?
300
the reinforcement of a desired response every time it occurs
What is continuous reinforcement?
300
learning that occurs but remains hidden until there is a need to use it
What is latent learning?
300
negative reinforcers
What is unpleasant stimuli that increase the frequency of behavior when they are removed?
300
the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed
What is spontaneous recovery?
400
a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus
What is conditioned response?
400
a type of conditioned learning in which only some of the responses are reinforced
What is partial reinforcement?
400
learning by observing and imitating the behavior of others
What is observational learning?
400
ratio
What is the relationship in quantity, amount, or size between two or more things?
400
the tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics
What is generalization?
500
a previously neutral stimulus that, because of pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, now causes a conditioned response
What is conditioned stimulus?
500
stimuli, such as food or warmth, that have reinforcement value without learning
What is primary reinforcers?
500
experienced indirectly through the experience of another
What is vicarious?
500
shaping
What is in operant conditioning, a procedure in which reinforcement guides behavior toward closer approximations of the desired goal?
500
in classical conditioning, the ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar
