Having something that didn"t previously cause a response and then you pair it with something that does cause a response. More likely to repeat behaviour that led to a favourable consequence.

Social learning theory explains human behaviour in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioural, and environmental influences. By rewarding certain behaviours, consequences through reinforcement and desensitizing phobias and fears. Fixed interval reinforcement is provided for producing the response at least once a specified amount of time has passed. A worker in a toy factory might get paid the same time every. Friday afternoon, so as long as she has generated at least one toy during that one-week interval. Variable ratio reinforcement is provided after a specific number of responses on average, but the precise number of responses required during any given period varies randomly. Fixed ratio reinforcement is provided after a regular number of responses.
