Acquired drive
|
An internal drive state produced when an environmental stimulus is paired with an unconditioned source of drive
|
|
Anticipatory frustration response
|
Stimuli associated with nonreward produce a frustration state, which motivates escape from the nonrewarding environment
|
|
Anticipatory goal response
|
Stimuli associated with reward produce a conditioned arousal response, which motivates an approach to the reward
|
|
Behavior modification
|
Techniques for changing behavior that rely on the use of Pavlovian conditioning or instrumental or operant conditioning principles
|
|
Cathexis
|
The idea that the ability of deprivation states to motivate behavior transfers to the stimuli present during the deprivation state
|
|
Cognitive theories
|
The view that learning involves a recognition of when events will occur and an understanding of how to influence those events
|
|
Conditioned inhibition
|
The permanent inhibition of a specific behavior as a result of the continued failure of that response to reduce the drive state. Alternatively, a stimulus (CS2) may develop the ability to suppress the response to another stimulus (CS1) when the CS1 is paired with a UCS and the CS2 is presented without UCS
|
|
Contingency
|
The specified relationship between a specific behavior and reinforcement
|
|
Contiguity
|
The temporal pairing of two events
|
|
Drive
|
An intense internal force that motivates behavior
|
|
Equivalence belief principle
|
The idea that the reaction to a secondary reward is the same as the original goal
|
|
Habit hierarchy
|
The varying level of associative strengths between a stimulus environment and the behaviors associated with that environment
|
|
Habit strength
|
The strength of the connection between a particular environmental stimulus at a specific response
|
|
Incentive motivation
|
The idea that the level of motivation is affected by magnitude of reward: the greater the reward magnitude, the higher the motivation to obtain that reward
|
|
Operant response
|
A behavior that controls the rate at which specific consequences occur
|
|
Punishment
|
A means of eliminating undesired behavior by using an aversive event that is contingent upon the occurrence of the inappropriate behavior
|
|
Reactive inhibition
|
The temporary suppression of behavior due to the persistence of a drive state after unsuccessful behavior
|
|
Reinforcer
|
An event (or termination of an event) that increases the frequency of the operant behavior that preceded it
|
|
Reward
|
An event that increases the occurrence of the instrumental behavior that precedes the event
|
|
S-R associative theories
|
The view that learning involves the association of a specific stimulus with a specific response
