| 5593419836 | acquisition | in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response |  | 9 |
| 5593419837 | higher-order conditioning | a procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus.

| 5593419850 | reinforce | in operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows |  | 23 |
| 5593419851 | positive reinforcement | increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforce in any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response |  | 24 |
| 5593419852 | negative reinforcement | increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforce is any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response (negative reinforcement is not punishment) |  | 25 |

| 5593419854 | conditioned reinforcer | a stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforce; also known as a secondary reinforce | | 27 |
| 5593419855 | continuous reinforcement | reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs |  | 28 |
| 5593419856 | partial (intermittent) reinforcement | reinforcing a response only part of the time; results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction than does continuous reinforcement | | 29 |
