operant conditioning ✔✔learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified

a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first
stimulus alone.
positive reinforcement ✔✔Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food or a
toy.
positive reinforcer ✔✔any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the
response
negative reinforcement ✔✔the removal of an adverse stimulus which is 'rewarding' to the animal
or person. It strengthens behavior because it stops or removes an unpleasant experience.'

operant conditioning ✔✔learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment.

classical conditioning ✔✔a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone.

positive reinforcement ✔✔Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food or a toy.

positive reinforcer ✔✔any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response

negative reinforcement ✔✔the removal of an adverse stimulus which is 'rewarding' to the animal or person. It strengthens behavior because it stops or removes an unpleasant experience.'

negative punishment ✔✔a certain reinforcing stimulus is removed after a specific undesired behavior is exhibited, resulting in the behavior happening less often in the future.

positive punishment ✔✔the administration of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior's recurring

Aversive ✔✔Any circumstance or event that causes pain, fear, or emotional discomfort. Tending to avoid or causing avoidance of a noxious or punishing stimulus.

Back-chaining ✔✔The transfer of control of a learned response from one cue to another cue that consistently occurs prior to the first cue.

Captured behavior ✔✔Reinforcing an animal in the act of performing the complete behavior.

Chaining ✔✔A series of individual behaviors in which an animal is trained to perform in sequence. Each behavior provides the cue for the next behavior, and only the last behavior in the chain results in delivery of a primary reinforcer.

fixed interval ✔✔A schedule of reinforcement, which sets the rule that reinforcement is delivered immediately following the first response exhibited after a specific interval of time has passed.

fixed ratio ✔✔A schedule of reinforcement, which sets the rule that reinforcement is delivered following the final response after a fixed number of responses have occurred.

Flooding ✔✔A form of behavior therapy, based on the principles of respondent extinction, in which a subject is exposed, usually at full intensity, to an aversive stimulus, where escape behavior is prevented, until escape responding ceases.

Habituation ✔✔The diminishing of an instinctive response to a frequently repeated stimulus. Therefore people or animals become used to something, so that they no longer find it unpleasant or think it is a threat

intermittent reinforcement ✔✔Reinforcement is given only part of the time a subject gives the desired response.

interval reinforcement ✔✔It is a schedule of reinforcement where the first response is rewarded only after a specified amount of time has elapsed.

Latency ✔✔the time between the cue and the beginning of the pet's response, the behavior.

neutral stimulus ✔✔A stimulus that does not evoke or elicit the behavior in question.

Premack Principle ✔✔A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high- probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior.

antecedent ✔✔Any stimulus present in the environment before the behavior occurs

ABC of behavior ✔✔Antecedents, Behavior and Consequences.
