the species specific biological predisposition to learn in certain ways but not others

a form of problem solving in which the organism develops a sudden insight into or understating of problems solutions

unreinforced learning that i not immediately reflected in behavior

the use of operant condition principles to change human behavior

the presentation of stimulus following a given behavior in oder to decree the frequency of that behavior

the removal of stimulus following a given behavior in oder to decrease the frequency of that behavior

specific patterns that determine when a behavior will be reinforced

decreases in the frequency of a behavior when the behavior is no longer reinforced

a reinforcer that acquires its positive values through an organism experience; a secondary reinforcer is a learned or conditioned reinforcer

performing a reinforced behavior in a different situation

prescind appropriate to stimuli that a behave will or will not be reinforced

an organism leaning that it can altogether avoid a negative stimulus by making a particular response

a reinforcer that is innately satisfying; one that does not take any learning on the organisms part to make it pleasurable

through experience with unavoidable aversive stimuli an organism leans that it has no control over negative outcomes

rewarding ucessive approximations of desired behavior

the process by which a stills or an event following a particular behave increases the probability that the behavior will happen again

the presentation of a stimulus following a given behavior in order to increase the frequency of that behavior

the removal of a stimuli following a given behavior in order to increase the frequency of that behavior

Thorndikes law string that behaviors followed by positive outcomes are strengthened and that behaviors followed by negative outcomes are weakened

a form of associative learnign in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability the behaviors occurrence

decreased responsiveness to a stimuli after repeated presentations

a classical conditioning procedure for change the relationship between a conditioned stills and its conditioned response

a form of treatment that consists of repeated pairings of a stimuli with a very unpleasant stimulus

the learned response to the conditioned stimulus that occurs after a conditioned stimulus unconditioned stimulus paring

a stimuli that produces a repose without prior learning

a previously neural stimuli that eventually elects a conditioned response after being paired with unconditioned stimulus

learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an innately meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response
