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.
