  1. 2. A psychological perspective or framework for explaining behaviour based on specific assumptions methods and levels of analysis
  2. 4. The gradual decrease of a learned behaviour when reinforcement stops
  3. 6. Learning through the consequences of behaviour
  4. 8. The behaviourist assumption that learning principles apply across species
  5. 12. The tendency for a learned response to occur to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus
  6. 15. A previously neutral stimulus that produces a learned response after association
  7. 17. A consequence that increases the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated
  8. 19. Adding a desirable stimulus following a behaviour to increase its frequency
  9. 20. Removing an unpleasant stimulus following a behaviour to increase its frequency
  10. 23. The view that behaviour is shaped primarily by environmental influences
  11. 24. A natural reflexive response to an unconditioned stimulus
  12. 25. A behaviour that is freely emitted rather than reflexively triggered
  13. 26. Learning through association between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus
  14. 27. A stimulus that initially produces no specific response
  15. 28. An approach that emphasises the unconscious mind and early experiences in shaping behaviour
  16. 29. Providing reinforcement after every response
  17. 30. The ability to distinguish between different stimuli and respond only to the conditioned stimulus
Down
  1. 1. A voluntary behaviour that operates on the environment
  2. 3. A controlled apparatus used to study operant conditioning in animals
  3. 5. Providing reinforcement after some responses but not all
  4. 7. Behaviour that can be directly seen and measured objectively
  5. 9. A consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated
  6. 10. The specific level at which behaviour is explained such as biological environmental or cognitive
  7. 11. The pattern or frequency with which reinforcement is delivered
  8. 13. A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a reflex response
  9. 14. A learned response to a conditioned stimulus
  10. 16. The use of controlled objective and systematic methods to ensure reliable and valid findings
  11. 18. A simple automatic response to a stimulus
  12. 21. A scientific approach that focuses on observable and measurable behaviour shaped by the environment
  13. 22. An umbrella term for theories that emphasise the role of experience and learning in shaping behaviour
