3. a response is rewarded after an unpredictable amount
of time has passed. This schedule produces a slow,
steady rate of response. Does your boss randomly drop
by your office a few times throughout the day to check
your progress? This is an example.
1. a schedule of reinforcement where a response is
reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.
This schedule creates a steady, high rate of responding.
Gambling and lottery games are good examples of a
reward based on a variable ratio schedule.
4. a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated
presentations. For example, a novel sound in your
environment, such as a new ring tone, may initially draw
your attention or even become distracting. After you
become accustomed to this sound, you pay less attention
to the noise and your response to the sound will diminish.
2. a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming
associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually
comes to trigger a response.
5. a term used in both classical and operant conditioning.
It involves the ability to distinguish between one stimulus
and similar stimuli.
7. your teacher's last name.
10. refers to the gradual weakening of a conditioned
response that results in the behavior decreasing or
disappearing. In other words, conditioned behavior
eventually stops.
11. involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus
following a behavior that makes it more likely that the
behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable
outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that
particular response or behavior will be strengthened.
After you execute a turn during a skiing lesson, your
instructor shouts out, "Great job!"
12. is one that unconditionally, naturally, and
6. a response or behavior is strengthened by stopping,
removing or avoiding a negative outcome or aversive

roommate (removal of the aversive stimulus).
8. it involves taking something good or desirable away to
reduce the occurrence of a particular behavior. A teenage
girl stays out for an hour past her curfew, so her parents
ground her for a week.
9. the unlearned response that occurs naturally in
reaction to the unconditioned stimulus. For example, if the
smell of food is the unconditioned stimulus, the feeling of
hunger in response to the smell of food
14. it involves presenting an unfavorable outcome or
event following an undesirable behavior. You wear your
favorite baseball cap to class but are verbally
reprimanded by your instructor for violating your school's
dress code.
automatically triggers a response.Pollen from grass and
flowers causes you to sneeze. The pollen from the grass
and flowers is it.
13. a schedule of reinforcement where a response is
reinforced only after a specified number of responses.
15. the learned response to the previously neutral
stimulus.
16. a schedule of reinforcement where the first response
and subsequent responses are rewarded only after a
specified amount of time has elapsed.
17. the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke
similar responses after the response has been
conditioned. For example, if a child has been conditioned
to fear a stuffed white rabbit, it will exhibit fear of objects
similar to the conditioned stimulus such as a white toy rat.
