Reduce the frequency of an operant behavior. The nature of the stimuli we experience. Giving up any effort to control the environment. Based on experience that no control is possible. May rely on activity of mirror neurons. Children use adults and peers as models. Semantic: represent of the meaning of what happened. How deeply information is encoded of processes.
