This psychologist discovered operant conditioning.
B.F. Skinner
This type of memory has a limited capacity for about 30 seconds.
Short-Term Memory
Step-by-step strategies that guarantee a solution.
Algorithms
Development is driven by a series of eight social crises. Success or failure in one stage impacts the ability to handle the next.
Erikson's Psychological Stages
This is a deprivation that energizes your drive.
This increases the likelihood of a behavior.

Recall and recognition are two forms of this:
Retrieval Cues
Making a judgment based on the most recent or loudest memory.
The Availability Heuristic
The key milestone of these years is object permanence (understanding that things exist even when out of sight).
Sensorimotor
This is the "on" switch for hunger.
Lateral Hypothalamus (LH)
Attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement/motivation are the four processes for observational learning.
Observational Learning
This occurs when the information never enters Long Term Memory.
Encoding Failure
This form of language involves presenting the same information in a more pleasing way.
Linguistic Framing
A key milestone of these years is conservation (understanding that quantity doesn't change if the shape changes)
Concrete Operational (7-11 years)
The concept that facial expressions can influence emotions as well as reflect them.
Facial Feedback Hypothesis
Thorndike's ____________ theorizes that behaviors followed by positive outcomes are strengthened and behaviors followed by negative outcomes are weakened.
Thorndike's Law of Effect
When you can't remember the past, you might have this kind of amnesia.
Retrograde
