The type of imitative behavior resulting in either the appearance of previously acquired deviant behavior.
reinforcers: stimuli that are naturally rewarding for an organism.
Pleasing or positive stimulus is given and consequently, the probability that the behavior will be repeated is increased.
Spontaneous recovery is classical conditioning-related behavior referring to the rapid re-emergence of a previously extinguished behavior.
A muscular, glandular, or mental reaction to a stimulus.
reinforcers: stimuli that may not be reinforcing initially but that eventually become reinforcing as a function of having been associated with other reinforcers.
A concentrated mental effort that functions as a filter to ignore unimportant events and focus on important events.
