behavior modification
|
the application of operant conditioning techniques to teach new response or to reduce or eliminate maladaptive or problematic behavior; also called applied behavior analysis.
|
|
latent learning
|
a form of learning that is not immediately expressed in an overt response, it occurs without obvious reinforcement.
