Reinforcement is usually divided into two types: positive and negative. If a stimulus is presented immediately after a behavior and that stimulus increases the probability that the behavior will occur again, the stimulus is called a
positive reinforcer
.
When an event follows a response that increases the tendency of that response this is known as?
Reinforcement
. a stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the likelihood that the response will be repeated. Primary Reinforcer. a stimulus, such as food or water, that is naturally rewarding and satisfying and requires no learning on the part of the subject to become pleasurable.
What is a stimulus that follows a response?
Stimulus. Any event that an organism can detect through its senses.
Reinforcement
(of operant behavior) The process by which a stimulus change that reliably follows (is contingent on) a response increases the future probability of that response. Positive Reinforcement.
When a stimulus increases the chances that a preceding behavior will be repeated this is known as?
Reinforcement
. The process by which a stimulus increases the chances that the preceding behavior will occur again.
When a reward or other pleasant event occurs following a response in order to increase the likelihood that the behavior will re occur Which of the following is being used?
There are a total of five consequences.
Positive reinforcement
occurs when a behavior (response) is rewarding or the behavior is followed by another stimulus that is rewarding, increasing the frequency of that behavior.
What is a stimulus in behavior?
Stimuli are
events in the environment that influence behavior
. A single stimulus can serve many different functions. Listed below are several functions that a stimulus can serve. … An observing response is sometimes necessary for presentation of the discriminative stimulus/stimuli.
Is a stimulus or event that follows a response?

What are three examples of stimulus and response?
- You are hungry so you eat some food.
- A rabbit gets scared so it runs away.
- You are cold so you put on a jacket.
- A dog is hot so lies in the shade.
- It starts raining so you take out an umbrella.
What is the relationship between a stimulus and a response?
A
change
in the environment is the stimulus; the reaction of the organism to it is the response.
What type of stimulus elicits a response?
Unconditioned stimulus
This type of stimulus unconditionally elicits a response, also referred to as a respondent.
What type of stimulus causes an automatic response?
An unconditioned stimulus
is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response. In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus.
What increases the probability that a behavior will be repeated?
A behavior (operant response) is sometimes more likely to occur in the future as a result of the consequences that follow that behavior. Events that increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future are called
reinforcers
.
When one stimulus enhances the response to another stimulus this is called?
Positive Reinforcer
. stimulus that strengthens a response by presenting a positive stimulus after a response.
Is the process in operant conditioning by which a stimulus or event?
is the process in operant conditioning by which a stimulus or event following a particular behavior increases the
probability
that the behavior will be repeated. conditioning is a form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior’s occurrence.
What are the 4 types of reinforcement?
There are four types of reinforcement:
positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment and extinction
.
What is the process by which a stimulus decreases the probability of the behavior that it follows called?
Reinforcement. A process by which a stimulus or event strengthens or increases the probability of response that it follows.
punishment
. A stimulus or an event weakens or reduces the probability of response that it follows.
