| A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience | ||
| Learning that certain events occur together | ||
| The view the psychology should be objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes | ||
| A type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli | ||
| In classical conditioning, the unlearned naturally ocurring response to the unconditioned stimulus | ||
| In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically- triggers a response | ||
| In classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral conditioned stimulus | ||
| In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response | ||
| The initial stage in classical conditioning, the phase associating a neutral stimulus with an US=S so that the neural stimulus comes to elicit a CR | ||
| The diminishing of a conditioned response | ||
| The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response | ||
| The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditions stimulus to elicit similar responses | ||
| In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus | ||
| A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punishment | ||
| Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus | ||
| Behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences | ||
| Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely | ||
| A chamber containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforced, with attached devices to record the animal's rate of the bar pressing or key pecking | ||
| An operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward a closer and closer approximations of a desired goal | ||
| In operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows | ||
| An innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need | ||
| A stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer | ||
| Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs | ||
| Reinforcing a response only part of the time | ||
| In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses | ||
| In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcemnt that reinforces a repsonse after an unpredictable number of responses | ||
| In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed | ||
| In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals | ||
| An event that decreases the behavior that it follows | ||
| A mental representation of the layout of one's environment | ||
| Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it | ||
| The effect of promising a reward for doing what one already likes to do | ||
| Learning by observing others | ||
| The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior | ||
| Positive, constructive, helpful behavior |
