Answer 1

Behavior modification

Question 2

Learning to elicit an involuntary response to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus that normally produces a response

Answer 2

Classical conditioning

Question 3

Modern theory in which classical conditioning is seen to occur because the condition stimulus provides information or an expecting about the coming of the unconditioned stimulus

Answer 3

Cognitive perspective

Question 4

Learned response to a condition stimulus

Answer 4

Conditioned response

Question 5

Stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus

Answer 5

Conditioned stimulus

Development of nausea or response to a particular taste because that taste was followed by a nausea reaction occurring after only one association

Answer 6

Conditioned taste aversion

Question 7

The disappearance or awakening of a learned response following the removal or absence of the unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning or the removal of a reinforcer

Answer 7

Extinction

Schedule of reinforcement in which the number of responses reinforcement is always the same

Answer 8

Fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement

Question 9

Schedule of reinforcement in which the interval of time that must pass before reinforcement becomes possible is always the same

Answer 9

Fixed internal schedule of reinforcement

Answer 10

Question 11

Learning that remains hidden until it’s application becomes useful

Answer 11

Question 12

Law stating that if an action is followed by a pleasurable consequence it will tend to be repeated and If followed by an unpleasant consequence it will tend to not be repeated

Answer 12

Law of effect

Question 13

Referring to the observation that learning can take place without actual performance of a learned behavior

Answer 13

Learning/performance distinction

Question 14

The reinforcement of a response by the removal escape from or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus

Answer 14

Negative reinforcement

Question 15

The learning of voluntary behavior through the effects of pleasant and unpleasant consequences two responses

Answer 15

An event or stimulus that when following a response increases the probability that the response will occur again

Answer 19

Reinforcement

Question 20

The reinforcement of simple steps in behavior that lead to a desired more complex behavior

Answer 20

Shaping

Question 21

The appearance of a learned response after extinction has occurred

Answer 21

Spontaneous recovery

Question 22

And involuntary response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus

Answer 22

Unconditioned response

Question 23

A naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary response

Answer 23

Question 24

Schedule every enforcement in which the interval of time that must pass before reinforcement becomes possible it’s different for each trial or event

Answer 24

Variable interval schedule of reinforcement

Question 25

Schedule of reinforcement in which the number of responses required for reinforcement is different for each trial or event

Answer 25

Variable ratio schedule of reinforcement
