| 103795997 | primary reinforcers | events that acquire reinforcing qualities by being associated with primary reinforcers. | |
| 103795998 | secondary (conditioned) reinforcers | events that acquire reinforcing qualities by being associated with primary reinforcers. | |
| 103795999 | schedule of reinforcement | determines which occurrences of a specific response result in the presentation of a reinforcer. | |
| 103796000 | continuous reinforcement | occurs when every instance of a designated response is reinforced. | |
| 103796001 | intermittent (partial) reinforcement | occurs when a designated response is reinforced only some of the time. | |
| 103796002 | fixed-ratio schedule | the reinforcer is given after a fixed number of nonreinforced responses. | |
| 103796003 | variable-ratio schedule | the reinforcer is given after a variable number of nonreinforced responses. | |
| 103796004 | fixed-interval schedule | the reinforcer is given for the first response that occurs after a fixed time interval has elapsed. | |
| 103796005 | variable-interval schedule | the reinforcer is given for the first response after a variable time interval has elapsed. | |
| 103796006 | positive reinforcement | occurs when a response is strengthened because it is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus. | |
| 103796007 | negative reinforcement | occurs when a response is strengthened because it is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus. | |
| 103796008 | escape learning | an organism acquires a response that decreases or ends some aversive stimulation. | |
| 103796009 | avoidance learning | an organism acquires a response that prevents some aversive stimulus from occurring. | |
| 103796010 | punishment | occurs when an event following a response weakens the tendency to make that response. | |
| 103796011 | instinctive drift | occurs when an animal's innate response tendencies interfere with conditioning processes. | |
| 103796012 | observational learning | occurs when an organism's responding is influenced by the observation of others, who are called models | |
| 103796013 | instrumental learning | operant conditioning. | |
| 103796014 | behavior modification | a systematic approach to changing behavior through the application of the principles of conditioning. | |
| 103796015 | evaluative conditioning | consists of efforts to transfer the emotion attached to a UCS to a new CS. | |
| 103796016 | acquisition | refers to the initial stage of learning something. |
