Document Summary
The conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism exists. A group of similar responses with the same function and produce the same effect on the environment. A behavior is brought or caused by a behavior is brought about, or caused, by a stimulus that immediately precedes the behavior. Elicited by antecedent stimuli involuntary or reflexive behavior. Pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. Any behavior whose future frequency is determined primarily by its history of consequences. Selected, shaped, and maintained by consequences that have followed it in the past. A stimulus change follows a behavior and results in an increase or decrease in. Learner does not have to be aware of the connection between the behavior and consequence for behavior change to occur. You don"t know if a consequence functions as a reinforcer until you observe future behavior.
