Operant conditioning |
learning that is strengthened when behavior is followed by positive reinforcement
|
|
|
Reinforcement |
a stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the frequency of that response
|
|
|
Primary reinforcers |
stimuli, such as food or warmth, that have reinforcement value without learning
|
|
|
Secondary reinforcers |
stimuli that increase the probability of a response because of their association with a primary reinforcer
|
|
|
Positive reinforcers |
encouraging stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior when they are presented
|
|
|
Negative reinforcers |
unpleasant stimuli that increase the frequency of behavior when they are removed
|
|
|
Schedule of reinforcement |
a timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occurs
|
|
|
Continuous reinforcement |
the reinforcement of a desired response every time it occurs
|
|
|
Partial reinforcement |
a type of conditioned learning in which only some of the responses are reinforced
|
|
|
Shaping |
in operant conditioning, a procedure in which reinforcement guides behavior toward closer approximations of the desired goal
|
|
|
Chaining |
in operant conditioning, combining the steps of a sequence to progress toward a final action
