• behaviorism

• conditining

• learning

• association

what is associative learning?

• the acquisition of mental information by observing events, or by watching others, or through language.

• learning that certain events occur together

• learning to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events

• learning which occur through the use of reinforcers or punishers

an organisms decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it as related to learning

• sensory adaptation

• stimulation

• habituation

• reduced stimulation

what is cognitive learning?

• the acquisition of mental information by observing events, or by watching others, or through language.

• learning that certain events occur together

• learning to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events

• learning which occur through the use of reinforcers or punishers

what is classical conditioning?

• the use of reinforcers to strengthen behavior

• learning that two events differ and do not relate

• learning to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events

• the use of punishers to stop behavior

what is operant conditioning?

• Conditioned response

• Unconditioned response

• Discriminative response

What is the process of linking a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response

• generalization

• pairing
