Unconditioned sensation, considitioned sensetation, unconditioned response, conditioned response

aquiring a new response to a previouisly neutral stimulus that realbly signals the arrival of unconditioned stimulus

the diminishing of the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus no longer follows the conditioned stimulus. The conditioned response my not be totaly lost during extinction

learning to associate behaviors with their consenquences. Behaviors the are reinforced will be strengthened and behabiors that are puniched will be weakened

training a human or animal to make an operant response by reinforcing successive approximation of desired response.

set of internal and external factors that energise our behavior and direct it toward goals.

theory of motivation that our behavior is motivated to reduce drives created by unsatisfyed bodily needs to return the body too balanced internal state

theory of motivation proposes behaviors motivated to aintain an optimal level of physiological arousal

the desire to perform a behavior for external reinforcement

desire to perform a behavior for our own sake

decrease in intrinsically motivated behavior after the behavior is extrinsically reinforced and then reinforcement discontinued

stimulus that has to be present for the operant response to be reinforced or punished

learning to give the operant response only in presence of the disriminative stimuli

stimulus that increases the probability of a prior response

stimulus that decreases the probability of prior response

process by which the probability of a response is increased by the presentations of a reinforcer following the response

process by which the probability of a response is decreased by the presentation of a punisher following the response.

stimulus that the animal or huan find pleasant

stimulus find unpleasent

acquisition, ixtiction, spontaneous recovery, generelazication and discrimination

refers to the strenghtening of the reinforced operant response

temporary recovery of the operant response following a break during extinciton training

learning by observing others and imitating their behavior
