  1. 4. in classical conditioning, the tendency to display a conditioned response to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus
  2. 6. behavior that operates on the environment to generate or produce certain consequences is called _________ behavior
  3. 10. the researcher who trained pigeons to engage in unusual behaviors such as bowling, playing table tennis, and more
  4. 12. this consequence strengthens a behavior by removing or reducing an aversive stimulus following the behavior
  5. 15. this consequence strengthens a behavior by presenting a pleasurable stimulus following the behavior
  6. 16. a schedule of reinforcement in which a behavior is reinforced after a variable or unpredictable number of occurrences
  7. 18. a stimulus that produces a natural and automatic response in a person
  8. 19. this researcher successfully trained dogs to salivate to a tone and ultimately discovered classical conditioning
  9. 20. the view that psychology should focus on behavior without reference to mental processes
  10. 21. this consequence decreases the frequency of a behavior by removing or withdrawing a desirable stimulus following the behavior
  11. 22. a schedule of reinforcement in which a behavior is reinforced after the person has engaged in the behavior for a set period of time
  12. 23. a learned response to a previously neutral, but now conditioned, stimulus
Down
  1. 1. a procedure that involves reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior in order to gradually guide a person’s behavior toward the desired behavior
  2. 2. the process of acquiring enduring behaviors through experience with the environment
  3. 3. if a dog has been taught through classical conditioning to salivate to a particular tone but not to other tones, _________ has occurred
  4. 5. an unlearned, naturally occurring response to a stimulus
  5. 7. the weakening or disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned stimulus
  6. 8. _________ conditioning is a type of learning in which a person learns to associate his/her own behavior with a particular consequence
  7. 9. a type of learning in which a person learns to associate two or more stimuli in the environment is referred to as _________ conditioning
  8. 11. the sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after it had weakened or disappeared
  9. 13. the researcher who successfully conditioned an 11-month-old boy named Albert to fear a white rat
  10. 14. a stimulus that triggers a response from a person only after conditioning
  11. 15. this consequence decreases the frequency of a behavior by applying or presenting an aversive stimulus following the behavior
  12. 17. If you reinforce a behavior each and every time it occurs, you are using a(n) ____________ reinforcement schedule
