16
Q

If the consequences of a behavior are pleasant, the behavior correlation will be strengthened and the likelihood of behavior will increase: reinforcers increase behavior, punishment decreases

A

Law of effect

17
Q

A type of learning in which behaviors are strengthened or weakened by consequences

A

Instrumental learning

18
Q

An experimental environment that is better suited to examine the more natural flow of behavior: bird!

A

Skinner Box

19
Q

Anything that makes a behavior more likely to occur

A

Reinforcer

20
Q

The addition of something pleasant

A

Positive reinforcement

21
Q

The removal of something unpleasant

A

Negative reinforcement

22
Q

Anything that makes a behavior less likely

A

Punishment

23
Q

Addition of something unpleasant

A

Postive punishment

24
Q

Removal of something pleasant, omission training

A

Negative punishment

25
Q

Reinforcers that guide behavior closer and closer to the desired behavior

A

Shaping

26
Q

Involves the reinforcement of individual responses occurring in a sequence to form complex behavior

A

Chaining

27
Q

An innately reinforcing stimulus such that satisfies a biological need; ex: food

A

Primary reinforcers

28
Q

A stimulus that we have learned to value; ex: money

A

Secondary reinforcer

29
Q

A stimulus that exerts a reinforcing effect because it has been associated with reinforcing stimuli

A

Generalized reinforcers

30
Q

People earn a token for exhibiting a desired behavior and can later exchange tokens for privileges or treats

A

Token economy

31
Q

The precise rules that are used to present/remove reinforcers/punishments following a specified operant behavior: fixed ratio, variable ratio, variable interval, fixed interval

A

Reinforcement schedules

32
Q

Rewarding behavior every time it occurs

A

Continuous reinforcement

33
Q

Behaviors will be more resistant to extinction if the animal has not been reinforced continuously

A

Partial-reinforcement effect

34
Q

Tendency of learned behavior to gradually revert to biologically predisposed patterns

A

Instinctive drift

35
Q

Learning by observing others

A

Observational learning

36
Q

Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is incentive to demonstrate it

A
