vshown. vA vfunctional vrelationship vis vdemonstrated vwhen vthe vmanipulated vevents
v(IVs) vproduce va vreliable vchange vin vany vmeasurable vdimension vof vthe vtargeted

,vbehavior vand van vexperimenter vcan vcontrol vthe voccurrence vand vnon-occurrence vof
vthe vtarget vbehavior.

vmay vvary vacross vtopographies.


Respondent vConditioning v(B-3) v- vCORRECT✅✅A vprocess vwhere va vpreviously
vneutral vstimulus vbecomes vassociated vwith van vunconditioned vstimulus, vleading vto va
vlearned vresponse vto vthat vstimulus. v
Unconditioned vStimulus v(US): vA vstimulus vthat vnaturally vand vautomatically velicits va
vresponse vwithout vany vprior vlearning.
Unconditioned vResponse v(UR): vThe vnatural, vreflexive vresponse vto vthe vUS.
Neutral vStimulus v(NS): vA vstimulus vthat vinitially vdoesn't velicit va vparticular vresponse.

vafter va vdesired vbehavior, vincreasing vthe vlikelihood vthat vthe vbehavior vwill vbe
vrepeated vin vthe vfuture

vdesired vbehavior, vdecreasing vthe vlikelihood vthat vthe vbehavior vwill vbe vrepeated vin
vthe vfuture


Negative vPunishment v(B-5) v- vCORRECT✅✅Removing va vstimulus vor vreward vafter
va vdesired vbehavior, vdecreasing vthe vlikelihood vthat vthe vbehavior vwill vbe vrepeated
vin vthe vfuture


Automatic vReinforcement v(B-6) v- vCORRECT✅✅A vbehavior vis vmaintained vwithout
vthe vneed vfor vsocial vinteractions vor vexternal vrewards. vThe vbehavior vitself vprovides
vthe vreinforcement, voften vthrough vsensory vstimulation vor vthe vrelief vof van vaversive
vinternal vstate.


Socially-Mediated vReinforcement v(B-6) v- vCORRECT✅✅A vtype vof vreinforcement
vwhere vanother vperson vdelivers vthe vconsequence vof va vbehavior. vThis vmeans vthat
va vperson's vbehavior vis vstrengthened vor vweakened vby vthe vreactions vor vactions vof
vothers.

vassociation vwith vother vreinforcers v(food, vwater, vwarmth, vsex)


Conditioned vReinforcers v(B-7) v- vCORRECT✅✅A vstimulus vthat vgains vits
vreinforcing vpower vthrough vpairing vwith vanother, vnaturally vreinforcing vstimulus. vIt's va
vsecondary vreinforcer, vlearned vthrough vassociation v(tokens, vmoney)


Generalized vReinforcers v(B-7) v- vCORRECT✅✅A vstimulus vthat vhas vbecome
vreinforcing vbecause vit vhas vbeen vpaired vwith vnumerous vother vreinforcers, vboth
vconditioned vand vunconditioned. vThis vpairing vestablishes vthe vstimulus vas va
vversatile vand vreliable vreinforcer, vregardless vof vthe vcurrent vmotivating voperation.


Unconditioned vPunisher v(B-8) v- vCORRECT✅✅A vstimulus vthat vinherently
vdecreases vthe vlikelihood vof va vbehavior voccurring vagain, vwithout vany vprior vlearning
vor vconditioning. vIt's valso vknown vas va vprimary vpunisher v(pain, vextreme
vtemperatures, vloud vnoises)
