What is Classical Conditioning

A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response.

100

Spontaneous Recovery

The reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a period of rest.



100

What is Operant Conditioning

: A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened or weakened by the consequences that follow it.

100

Extinction

 The gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a behavior when it is no longer reinforced.

What is reinforcement

when you add something
200

unconditioned stimulus

A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without prior conditioning.

200

Generalization

The tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus.

200

Reinforcement:

A consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.

200

Spontaneous Recovery

 The reappearance of an extinguished behavior after a period of rest.

200


Fixed-Ratio (FR) Schedule:

Reinforcement is delivered after a specific number of responses.



300

conditioned stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response.

300

Discrimination

 The ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and similar stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.

300

Positive Reinforcement:

The presentation of a pleasant stimulus following a desired behavior, increasing the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.

300

Generalization

 The tendency to respond in similar ways to similar stimuli or situations.

300

Variable-Ratio (VR) Schedule

Reinforcement is delivered after an unpredictable number of responses.

400

Unconditioned Response (UR or UCR)

An unlearned response to an unconditioned stimulus.

400

Aversive Conditioning

A form of conditioning in which an unpleasant stimulus is paired with an undesired behavior in order to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.

400

Negative Reinforcement:

The removal of an unpleasant stimulus following a desired behavior, increasing the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.

400

Discrimination

The ability to respond differently to stimuli that signal different consequences for behavior.

400

Fixed-Interval (FI) Schedule

 Reinforcement is delivered after a specific amount of time has elapsed since the last reinforcement.



500

Extinction

The gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus.

500

Learned Taste Aversions

The tendency to avoid foods associated with illness or nausea, even if the illness is caused by factors unrelated to the food.



500

Punishment:

A consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.



500

Positive (+) Punishment:

: The presentation of an unpleasant stimulus following an undesired behavior, decreasing the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.



500

Variable-Interval (VI) Schedule:

Reinforcement is delivered after an unpredictable amount of time has elapsed since the last reinforcement.
