A learned association between two stimuli is most central to
A) shaping.
B) negative reinforcement.
C) a fixed-interval schedule.
D) classical conditioning.
Classical Conditioning
A conditioning strategy where two stimuli are repeatedly linked; a response that initially arises from the second stimulus ultimately arises from the first stimulus alone.
Learned Association
A behavioral principle where a subject starts associating a previously neutral stimulus with a significant one after repeated pairing.
Fixed-Interval Schedule
A type of operant conditioning reinforcement schedule where rewards are delivered at predictable time intervals, provided that the correct response is made.
