habituation
with repeated exposure to a stimuli, a response decreases
associative learning
learning that two events occur together
classical conditioning
linking 2 or more stimuli and anticipating events
acquisition
a neutral stimulus is linked with an unconditioned stimulus
higher-order conditioning
a conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus
extinction
diminishing of a conditioned response
generalization
similar responses to similar stimuli
discrimination
distinguishing between a conditioned and a similar stimuli
operant conditioning

shaping
reinforcers guide behavior toward desired behavior
reinforcement schedule
how often a desired response will be reinforced
continuous reinforcement
desired response is reinforced every time it occurs
fixed-ratio schedule
response is reinforced after a set number of responses
variable-interval schedule
response reinforced after unpredictable amounts of time
punishment
event that decreases the behavior it follows
biofeedback
receiving information regarding a subtle physiological state
latent learning
