CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
PAVLOV- Pairing a neutral stimulus (BELL) repeatedly with an unconditioned stimulus (FOOD) to elicit a condition response (SALIVATION)
UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS
Natural stimulus (FOOD) that reflexively elicits a response (SALIVATION) without the need for prior learning.
UNCONDITIONED RESPONSE
An unlearned response (SALIVATION) that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus (FOOD)
NEUTRAL STIMULUS
A stimulus (BELL) that produces no conditioned response prior to learning
CONDITIONED STIMULUS
Originally the neutral stimulus. When paired with the unconditioned stimulus (FOOD), the neutral stimulus (BELL) becomes conditioned as it gains the power to cause a response
CONDITIONED RESPONSE
A learned response elicited by the conditioned stimulus
EXTINCTION
The weakening of conditioned behavior when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus
GENERALIZATION
Occurs when stimuli that are similar to the original stimuli
DISCRIMINATION
The ability to distinguish between two similar stimuli
OPERANT CONDITIONING
A learning process in which behavior is shaped and maintained by consequences (rewards or punishment) that follows a response.
REINFORCEMENT
Strengthens a response and makes it more likely to occur
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
Adding a stimulus to reinforce behavior
NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
Taking away an aversive stimulus to reinforce behavior
PREMACK PRINCIPLE
The opportunity to engage in a preferred activity can be used to reinforce a less-preferred activity
CONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT
All correct responses are reinforced
shaping
Strengthening behavior by reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior until the entire correct routine is displayed
INTERMITTENT REINFORCEMENT
Rewarding some but not all correct responses
FIXED RATIO SCHEDULE
Reinforcement that occurs after a set number of responses

EX: paid after every two lawns you mow
VARIABLE RATIO SCHEDULE
Ratio varies
FIXED INTERVAL SCHEDULE
Reinforcement that occurs after a set amount of time has elapsed

EX: paycheck every Friday
VARIABLE INTERVAL SCHEDULE
Time interval varies

EX: POP QUIZ
PUNISHMENT
Behavior is followed by an aversive consequence that decreases the likelihood of the behavior being repeated
POSITIVE PUNISHMENT
Adding an aversive stimulus

EX: Adding more jobs
NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT
Taking away a desired stimulus

EX: Taking away car keys or cell phone
OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING
Occurs by watching others and then imitating or modeling the observed behavior
