Document Summary
Reinforcement after a varying amount of time (like fishing) nonassociative learning. A type of learning in which presentation of a particular stimulus alters the strength or probability of a response according to the strength and temporal spacing of that stimulus; ***includes habituation and sensitization. Previously neutral stimulus that now elicits the conditioned response. Reinforcement after a fixed number of responses stimulus discrimination. A differentiation between two similar stimuli when only one of them is consistently associated with the unconditioned stimulus. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning) Reinforces the desired response each time it occurs. A mental representation of the layout of one"s environment. For example, after exploring a maze, rats act as if they have learned a cognitive map of it. sensitization. An increase in behavioral response following exposure to a threatening stimulus. positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement.
