A sudden often novel (new) realization of the solution to a problem

Frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing so. May enable imitation and empathy.

Showed that in classical conditioning, pairing two stimuli doesn’t always produce the same level of conditioning. Conditioning works better if the conditioned stimulus acts as a reliable signal that predicts the appearance of the unconditioned stimulus.

Developed the idea of Law of Effect: When a behavior is rewarded it continues and when it is punished it discontinues.

Studied rats in a maze and demonstrated latent learning- rats seemed to develop a cognitive map of the maze which only became apparent when there was an incentive to demonstrate the knowledge.

Known for his research on taste aversions

Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning).

The view that psychology should be objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes.

The diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US), does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.

The reappearance after a pause of an extinguished conditioned response.

Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it (ex. cognitive map).
