discriminative stimulus, s delta

19
Q

Loss

delay, simultaneous, trace

22
Q

The _______ stimulus is renamed the _______ stimulus after learning

A

neutral, conditioned

23
Q

Higher order conditioning is when…

A

…a CS is paired with a NS until it also elicits the CR

24
Q

Classical extinction happens when

A

25
Q

Temporary increase in behavior after withholding reinforcement

A

Response burst

26
Q

In classical conditioning, learning is based on _________, whereas in operant conditioning, learning is based on _________

A

pairing, rewards and punishment

27
Q

Pain

Spontaneous recovery

32
Q

Pseudoconditioning

A

accidental conditioning

33
Q

__________ is an automatic process in which the subject demonstrates the CR to stimuli similar to the CS, whereas _______ is a deliberate process in which the subject demonstrates the CR to new stimuli via pairing

A

Stimulus generalization, higher-order conditioning

34
Q

Positive punishment

A

Pain

35
Q

Reciprocal determination

A

Person, behavior, and environment regulate behavior
