What is spontaneous recovery
100
Anything that follows a response and strengthens it or increases the probability that it will occur

What is latent learning

What is inhibitory effect
100

What is variable-ratio schedule
200
The learned ability to distinguish between similar stimuli so that the conditioned response occurs only to the original conditioned stimulus but not to similar stimuli
What is discrimination
200
The weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response as a result of the withholding on reinforcement
What is extinction
200
Learning by observing the behavior of others and the consequences of that behavior; learning by imitation.

Genetically programmed tendencies to acquire classically conditioned fear responses to potentially life-threatening stimuli
What is biological predispositions
500
A method of changing behavior through a systematic program based on the learning principles of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or observational learning.
