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 an objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes
a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli.
in classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (US), such as salivation when food is in the mouth
in classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally - naturally and automatically - triggers a response
in classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus
in classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response

a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.
behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus; Skinner's term for behavior learned through classical conditioning
Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely
behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences
an operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior
an operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior
increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock; it is any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response
