 Classical Conditioning | simple form of learning in which one stimulus calls forth the response that is usually called forth by another stimuli. |
| Conditioned Response | A learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral, or meaningless. |
| Conditioned Stimulus | Learned stimulus, much like unconditioned. |
| Continuous | Reinforcement of the behavior every time it occurs. |
| Counter conditioning | Pleasant stimulus with scary one to counteract fear. |
| Discrimination | Respond differently to non-similar stimuli. |
| Extinction | Disconnect stimulus/ response |
| Fixed-Interval | Behavior must be done a certain amount of times before it is reinforced. |
| Flooding | Exposed to harmless stimulus till response is extinguished. |
| Generalization | Respond to all similar stimuli. |
| Negative Reinforcement | Increases the frequency of the behavior that follows when they are removed. |
| Positive Reinforcement | A behavior is reinforced because something he or she wants is received following the behavior. |
| Operant Conditioning | Learning that is strengthened when behavior is followed by positive reinforcement. |
| Punishment | Unwanted events, that when applied, decrease the frequency of the behavior they follow. |
| Reinforcement | The process by which a stimulus increases the chances that the preceding behavior will occur again. |
| Unconditioned Response | An automatic response. |
| Unconditioned Stimulus | A stimulus that is automatic, not learned. |
| Variable-interval | Behavior is reinforced at random unknown times. |
| Shaping | A way of teaching complex behaviors in which one first reinforces small steps in the right direction |
| Stimulus | Something that produces a reaction or response. |
