Learning process in which 2 stimuli become associated with each other; when an originally neutral stimulus is conditioned to elicit an involuntary response

• Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning

• Observational Learning

What leads to extinction with classical conditioning?

• The Conditioned Response (CR) decreases and eventually disappears

• When a response is no longer reinforced following a stimulus

• The Neutral Stimulus (NS) decreases

• When a stimulus is no longer reinforced following a response

Learning that occurs when voluntary actions become associated with their consequences

• Operant Conditioning

• Observational Learning

• Classical Conditioning

The tendency for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit the conditioned response

• Stimulus Generalization

• Stimulus Discrimination

• Primary Reinforcer

• Secondary Reinforcer

The ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimulus sufficiently different from it

• Stimulus Discrimination

• Stimulus Generalization

• Primary reinforcer

• Secondary Reinforcer

How does negative reinforcement relate to escape and avoidance of an aversive stimulus

• By taking away (or subtraction) something unpleasant

• A response is no longer reinforced following a stimulus

• The Conditioned Response (CR) decreases and eventually disappears

A reinforcer that satisfies a biological need; innate reinforcer

• Primary Reinforcer

• Secondary Reinforcer

A reinforcer that does not satisfy a biological need but often gains power through its association with a primary reinforcer

• Secondary Reinforcer

• Primary Reinforcer

Learning that occurs as a result of watching the behavior of others

• Observational Learning

• Operant Learning

• Classical Conditioning

Memories you are aware of

• Explicit Memory

• Implicit Memory
