Behavior Modification:
The use of operant conditioning techniques to bring about desired changes in behavior
-
Classical Conditioning:
Learning to make an involuntary (reflex) response to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus that normally produces the reflex
-
Continuous Reinforcement:
The reinforcement of each and every correct response
-
Stimulus Generalization:
The tendency to respond to a stimulus that is only similar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response
-
Reinforcement:
Any event or stimulus, that when following a response, increases the probability that the response will occur again
-
Operant Conditioning:
The learning of voluntary behavior through the effects of pleasant and unpleasant consequences to responses
-
Observational Learning:
Learning a new behavior by watching a model perform that behavior
-
Punishment:
Any event or object that, when following a response, makes that response, less likely to happen again
-
Shaping:
The reinforcement of simple steps in behavior that lead to a desired, more complex behavior
-
Extinction:
The disappearance or weakening of a learned response following the removal or absence of the unconditioned stimulus (in classical conditioning) or the removal of a reinforcer (in operant conditioning)
