Behavioral psychology emphasizes the study of observable behavior.

B.F. Skinner coined the term "operant conditioning."

In classical conditioning, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through association with an unconditioned stimulus.

The primary focus of behaviorism is observing and analyzing behavior.

John B. Watson is known for the "Little Albert" experiment.

Extinction in classical conditioning occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus.

Shaping in behaviorism involves reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior.

B.F. Skinner introduced the concept of reinforcement schedules in operant conditioning.

Stimulus generalization in classical conditioning involves responding to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus.

In behavior analysis, ABC stands for Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence.

Albert Bandura developed the concept of social learning theory, emphasizing observational learning.

Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction.

Habituation, according to behaviorism, involves decreasing responsiveness to a repeated stimulus.

Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior.

Albert Bandura is known for the "Bobo doll" experiment, illustrating observational learning in aggression.

Extinction in classical conditioning involves weakening a conditioned response by presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.

Vicarious reinforcement in social learning theory involves observing and imitating the reinforcement or punishment of others.

B.F. Skinner is associated with the development of the "token economy" as a form of operant conditioning.

Counterconditioning involves pairing an aversive stimulus with a desirable one to change behavior.

The primary focus of behavior modification is modifying observable behavior.

Edward Thorndike proposed the "law of exercise."

Modeling in social learning theory involves observing and imitating the behavior of others.

B.F. Skinner developed the concept of negative reinforcement in operant conditioning.

Desensitization is often used in the treatment of phobias, involving gradual exposure to feared stimuli.

Edward Thorndike introduced the concept of "habit strength" as a factor in the strength of the stimulus-response association.

Discrimination in classical conditioning refers to responding only to the original conditioned stimulus, not to similar stimuli.

Edward Thorndike proposed the idea of "stimulus-response bonds" as the basis for learning in behaviorism.

Negative reinforcement in operant conditioning involves the removal of an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior recurring.

Systematic desensitization is commonly used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, involving gradual exposure to feared stimuli.

Edward Thorndike is known for the "law of effect."

Flooding in behavior therapy involves intense and prolonged exposure to feared stimuli to reduce anxiety.

B.F. Skinner introduced the concepts of escape learning and avoidance learning in operant conditioning.

Extinction in behaviorism involves extinguishing a learned behavior by no longer reinforcing it.

Aversive conditioning involves pairing an aversive stimulus with a desirable one to reduce the likelihood of a behavior.

B.F. Skinner developed the theory of radical behaviorism, emphasizing the role of the environment in shaping behavior.

Extinction in classical conditioning involves the presentation of an unconditioned stimulus without the conditioned stimulus, weakening the response.

B.F. Skinner is known for the concept of "stimulus control" in behaviorism.

Token economy is often applied in the management of schizophrenia, using tokens as reinforcement for desired behaviors.

Continuous reinforcement in operant conditioning involves reinforcing a behavior every time it occurs.

B.F. Skinner is associated with the development of behavior therapy and the application of operant conditioning principles in clinical settings.

Chaining in behaviorism involves connecting individual behaviors into a complex sequence through reinforcement.

B.F. Skinner proposed the concept of behavior modification and its application in clinical settings.

Extinction in classical conditioning involves presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus, weakening the response.

Contingency management in behavior therapy involves applying reinforcement based on desired behaviors and contingencies.

Edward Tolman introduced the concept of latent learning and emphasized the role of cognitive processes in behavior.

Behavioral contracting involves establishing agreements regarding behavior and consequences to modify behavior.

Variable ratio schedule in operant conditioning involves reinforcing a behavior after a variable number of occurrences.

Edward Thorndike proposed the idea of "stimulus-response connections" as the basis for learning in behaviorism.

Behavioral rehearsal is often used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, involving practicing adaptive behaviors.

B.F. Skinner developed the concept of behavioral self-control and its application in modifying one's own behavior.

Extinction in classical conditioning involves the reduction or disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is presented alone.

Mowrer is known for the "two-factor theory of avoidance learning," which integrates classical and operant conditioning in avoidance behavior.

Fixed ratio schedule in operant conditioning involves reinforcing a behavior after a fixed number of occurrences.

B.F. Skinner is associated with the concept of behavioral assessment and the use of behavioral observations in clinical settings.

Stimulus discrimination in classical conditioning refers to responding only to the original conditioned stimulus, not to similar stimuli.

B.F. Skinner introduced the concept of response deprivation in behavior modification, highlighting the role of restricted access to reinforcing activities.

Fixed interval schedule in operant conditioning involves reinforcing a behavior after a fixed time interval.

Behavioral activation is often used in the treatment of depression, involving engaging in rewarding activities to improve mood.
