| 687579113 | Stimulus | Produces a reaction or a response from a person or animal | |
| 687579114 | Response | A bodily process occurring due to the effect of some foregoing stimulus or agent | |
| 687579115 | Conditioning | A type of learning that involves stimulus- response connections | |
| 687579116 | Classical conditioning | One stimulus calls forth the response that calls forth another stimulus | |
| 687579117 | Unconditioned stimulus | Stimulus that causes a response that is automatic; response can not be learned | |
| 687579118 | Unconditional response | The automatic response by instinct or nature | |
| 687579119 | Conditioned stimulus | Learned stimulus through repeated association | |
| 687579120 | Conditioned response | Learned response to a stimulus that was previously meaningless or neutral | |
| 687579121 | Extinction | Conditioned stimulus is disconnected from the unconditioned stimulus, no reaction occurs | |
| 687579122 | Spontaneous recovery | Display responses that were extinguished earlier | |
| 687579123 | Generalization | Responding to a stimuli that seems similar to the initial stimulus | |
| 687579124 | Discrimination | Responding differently to stimuli that are not similar | |
| 687579125 | Flooding | Exposed to a stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus disappear | |
| 687579126 | Systematic desensitization | People are relaxed and then expose to fearful stimulus gradually over time | |
| 687579127 | Taste aversion | Learned avoidance of a particular food | |
| 687579128 | Operant conditioning | Learn from the consequences of actions | |
| 687579129 | Reinforcement | Stimulus increases the chance of the preceding behavior happening again | |
| 687579130 | Primary reinforcer | Reinforcers that function due to the biological makeup of an organism | |
| 687579131 | Secondary reinforcer | Initially acquire their value through being paired with established reinforcers | |
| 687579132 | Positive reinforcer | Increase the frequency of the behavior they follow when they are applied | |
| 687579133 | Negative reinforcer | Increases the frequency of the behavior that follows when they are removed | |
| 687579134 | Schedule of reinforcement | When and how often the reinforcement occurs | |
| 687579135 | Continuous reinforcement | Reinforcement of a behavior every time the behavior occurs | |
| 687579136 | Partial reinforcement | Behavior is not reinforced every time it occurs, behavior tends to last longer this way when reinforcement does not occur anymore | |
| 687579137 | Shaping | A way of teaching complex behaviors in which one first reinforces small streps in the total activity | |
| 687579138 | Latent learning | Learning that remains hidden until it is needed | |
| 687579139 | Observational learning | Acquire knowledge and skills by observing and imitating others | |
| 687579140 | Chaining | Each step of a sequence must be learned and must lead to the next until the final action is achieved |
