Classically conditioned nausea and vomiting when cancer patients are exposed to stimuli associated with their treatment

A process (also called ‘behaviour modification’) in which operant conditioning is combined with scientific data collection to solve individual and social problems

The pairing of a conditioned stimulus that currently evokes a positive but maladaptive response with a noxious unconditioned stimulus in an attempt to condition repulsion towards the conditioned stimulus

The conditioning of an organism to perform a response to avoid an undesirable consequence

An operant conditioning procedure used to develop a sequence (chain) of responses by reinforcing each response with the opportunity to perform the next response

A procedure in which a formerly neutral stimulus (the conditioned stimulus) comes to elicit a conditioned response by virtue of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a similar response (the unconditioned response)

A mental representation of the spatial layout of an area

In classical conditioning, a response to a conditioned stimulus; the conditioned response is established by pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus that evokes a similar response

A neutral stimulus that comes to evoke a conditioned response after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus

A learned repulsion to a food that formerly was neutral or desired, by virtue of pairing the food with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (nausea, stomach illness)

A reinforcement schedule in which each correct response if followed by reinforcement

The ability to forgo immediate rewards for delayed but more satisfying outcomes

The occurrence of a conditioned response to one stimulus but not another stimulus

The ability to respond differently to stimuli that signal particular responses

An antecedent stimulus that signals the likelihood of certain consequences if a response is made
