Term
|
Definition

Definition
| A chamber containing a bar/key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food/water reinforcer. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer/ diminished if followed by a punisher. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Reinforcing a response only part of the time: results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction than continous reinforcement. |

Term
|
Definition
| An innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer. |

|
Term
| Fixed-Interval Schedule(FI) |
|
Definition
| In OC,A reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed |

|
Term
|
Definition
