This term in Operant Conditioning will always result in INCREASING the desired behavior.
reinforcement

Continuous
When learning has occurred, but it may not be apparent until an incentive has been given to the test subject to demonstrate their learning.

learnned helplessness
This schedule of reinforcement produces the most effective learning.
variable ratio schedule
When it was first introduced, the bell in Pavlov's experiment was considered one of these. After conditioning, it became a conditioned stimulus.
