Habituation is best described as: Becoming used to a stimulus after repeated exposure
The phenomenon where a non-significant, second stimulus causes a temporary recovery of a previously habituated response is called: Dishabituation
The associative learning theory primarily involves the idea that: Ideas reinforce each other and can be linked
A method of learning that involves voluntary behaviors being modified by their consequences (rewards and punishments) is: Operant conditioning
In the context of operant conditioning, a consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again is known as: Reinforcement
To decrease the likelihood of a specific behavior, one would use: Punishment
A positive response (reinforcement or punishment) in operant conditioning is one that: Adds a stimulus to the environment
When a behavior that was previously reinforced is no longer followed by a reward, the behavior is likely to undergo: Extinction
The process of reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior to eventually teach a complex action is called: Shaping
In classical conditioning, the stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers an unconditioned response is paired with a neutral stimulus, which eventually becomes the: Conditioned stimulus
