Learning - Answers a relatively enduring change in behavior, resulting from experience
Non-associative learning - Answers responding after repeated exposure to a single stimulus or event

Modeling - Answers imitating a behavior seen in others
Mirror neurons: - Answers neurons in the brain that are activated when one observes another individual
engage in an action and performs a similar action
Observational learning - Answers acquiring or changing a behavior after exposure to another individual

Positive reinforcement: - Answers stimulus is presented after a behavior
Negative reinforcement - Answers an aversive stimulus is removed or postponed after a behavior
Negative punishment: - Answers response cost
Habituation - Answers when our behavioral response to a stimulus decreases, type of non-associative
learning
Sensitization - Answers when our behavioral response to a stimulus increases
Unconditioned response: - Answers a response that does not have to be learned, such as a reflex
Unconditioned stimulus - Answers a stimulus that elicit a response, such as a reflex, without any prior
learning
Conditioned response: - Answers a response to a conditioned stimulus; a response that has been

Conditioned stimulus - Answers a stimulus that elicits a response only after learning has taken place
Acquisition - Answers the gradual formation of an association between the conditioned and
unconditioned stimuli
Stimulus generalization: - Answers learning that occurs when stimuli that are similar, but not identical,
to the conditioned stimulus elicits the contained response
Stimulus discrimination - Answers a differential between two similar stimuli when only one of them is
consistently associated with the unconditioned stimulus
Extinction: - Answers if a behavior is no longer followed by a reinforcer, that behavior becomes less
