successive approximations are also known as:

Punishment that is not an inherent aspect of the behavior being punished but that simply follows the behavior.

Behaviors that are performed to achieve some additional incentive are _ motivated

A schedule in which reinforcement is contingent upon a fixed, predictable number of responses.

Elicited behaviors controlled by the events that _ their occurrence, while operant are controlled by events that _ them

Money and praise are common examples of _ reinforcers.

The reappearance of an extinguished response following a rest period after extinction.

Punishment that is an inherent aspect of the behavior being punished, that is, the behavior itself is punishing.

reinforcement

the tendency for an operant response to be emitted more in the presence of one stimulus than another

An event that has become punishing because it has in the past been associated with many other punishers.

The reappearance during extinction of other behaviors that had once been effective in obtaining reinforcement.

A schedule in which reinforcement is contingent upon a varying, unpredictable number of responses.

Any event that is innately punishing.

The nonreinforcement of a previously reinforced response, the result of which is a decrease in strength.

In operant conditioning the tendency for an operant response to be emitted in the presence of a stimulus that is similar

Behaviors that are performed for their own sake are said to be _ motivated

According to this theory, an event is reinforcing to the extent that it is associated with a reduction in desire.

The notion that a high-probability behavior can be used to reinforce a low-probability behavior.

A schedule in which reinforcement is contingent upon the first response after a fixed, predictable period of time.

learning in which the stimulus/experience happens after the behavior is demonstrated

The process of gradually altering the intensity of a stimulus.

A schedule in which reinforcement is contingent upon continuous performance of a behavior for a fixed period.

A decrement in learning ability that results from repeated exposure to uncontrollable aversive events.
