Operant conditioning:

• 1. Something that is naturally reinforcing, such as food

• In operant conditioning, a partial reinforcement schedule that rewards after an unpredictable number of correct responses

• A type of learning in which the frequency of behavior depends on the the consequences that follows that behavior

• 1. In operant conditioning, anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior by following it with the removal of an undesirable event or state

Reinforcement

• 1. The mental representation of a place

• Any consequence that increases the future likelihood of a behavior

• 1. The effect of promising a reward for doing what one already likes to do

• In operant conditioning, a partial reinforcement schedule that rewards after an unpredictable number of correct responses

Punishment

• In operant conditioning, anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior by following it with the removal of an undesirable event or state

• Any consequence that decreases the future likelihood of a behavior

•  In classical conditioning, the diminishing of a learned response after repeated presentation of t6he conditioned stimulus alone

• 1. Reinforcement of behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired one; the operant technique used to establish new behaviors

Positive reinforcement:

• In operant conditioning, anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior by following it with a desirable event or state

• 1. In operant conditioning, anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior by following it with the removal of an undesirable event or state

• 1. Something that is naturally reinforcing, such as food

• 1. Something that you have learned to value, like money

Negative reinforcement:

• 1. In operant conditioning, anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior by following it with the removal of an undesirable event or state

• 1. Something that is naturally reinforcing, such as food

• 1. In operant conditioning, a partial reinforcement schedule that rewards only the first correct response after some defines period

• 1. The effect of promising a reward for doing what one already likes to do

Primary reinforcement:

• 1. Something that you have learned to value, like money

• 1. Something that is naturally reinforcing, such as food

• In social relations, taking action against a group of people because of stereotypes beliefs and feelings of prejudice

• 1. In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement in which a reward follows every correct response

Secondary reinforcement

• 1. In social relations, taking action against a group of people because of stereotypes beliefs and feelings of prejudice

• 1. Something that you have learned to value, like money

• 1. In operant conditioning, anything that increases the likelihood of a behavior by following it with the removal of an undesirable event or state

• 1. A type of learning in which the frequency of behavior depends on the the consequences that follows that behavior

Shaping

• 1. Reinforcement of behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired one; the operant technique used to establish new behaviors

• 1. American behavioral psychologist who developed the fundamental principles and techniques of operant conditioning and devised ways to apply them in the real world

• 1. In operant conditioning, a partial reinforcement schedule that rewards the first correct response after an unpredictable amount of time

• Learning that occurs but is not apparent until the learner has an incentive to demonstrate it

Discrimination

• In social relations, taking action against a group of people because of stereotypes beliefs and feelings of prejudice

• In operant conditioning, a partial reinforcement schedule that rewards the first correct response after an unpredictable amount of time

• Something that is naturally reinforcing, such as food

• A type of learning in which the frequency of behavior depends on the the consequences that follows that behavior

Extinction

• 1. A type of learning in which a stimulus gains the power to cause a response

• 1. In classical conditioning, the diminishing of a learned response after repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus alone

• 1. All mental processes associated with thinking, knowing, and remembering

• Founder of behaviorism, the theory that psychology should restrict its efforts to studying observable behaviors, not mental processes
