How Pavlov was able to produce a CR (drooling) when using a CS (bell).

Pairing the CS (bell) with the UCS (food)

100

The vocabulary word for developing a conditioned response (CR) when an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is paired with a conditioned stimulus (CS), in other words "learning"

What is Acquisition

100
Any event that strengthens or increases the frequency of a response
What is Reinforcement
100

Maybe the most well-known behaviorist, this psychologist is credited with the theories of operant conditioning. 

BF Skinner

200
An unlearned, naturally occurring, response to an unconditioned stimulus.
What is Unconditioned Response
200

A drop off in responses when a CS no longer signals an upcoming UCS. For example, ringing a bell no longer predicts receiving food. 

What is Extinction

200
Give something that is desired to increase a behavior
What is Positive Reinforcement
200
Giving something that is undesired to decrease a behavior
What is Positive Punishment
300
A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.
What is Unconditioned Stimulus
300

The reappearance of a CR after a break. The "reappearance" of a conditioned response. 

What is Spontaneous Recovery

300
Ending something that is undesired to increase a behavior
What is Negative Reinforcement
300
Reinforcing the first response after a fixed time period.
What is Fixed-interval schedule
400
A learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus.
What is Conditioned Response
400
Tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to the CS
What is Generalization
400

Taking away something that is desired to decrease a negative behavior.

The two major differences between operant and classical conditioning. 

1. Operant conditioning presents a stimulus after a target behavior, classical conditioning presents a stimulus before the target behavior.

2. Classical conditioning creates CR learned behaviors from UCR or reflexive behaviors. Operant conditioning increases or decreases learned behaviors. 

500
An originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus comes to trigger a conditioned response.
What is Conditioned Stimulus
500
The ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other irrelevant stimuli
What is Discrimination
500

Any consequence that decreases a behavior

Punishment

500
Ending something that is desired to decrease a behavior
What is Negative Punishment
