28
Q

the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus eliciting a conditioned response

A

Q

A

punishment

44
Q

if engaging in a high rate behavior is contingent upon engaging in a low rate behavior, then the low rate behavior will be reinforced (increased in rate)

A

Q

a stimulus that is inherently reinforcing

A

unconditioned (primary/ unlearned) reinforcer

46

withholding of reinforcement for a previously reinforced response which decreases the future probability of the response
