When a behavior is repeated less frequently because of the consequences that followed it this is known as?

According to the law of effect, behaviors that are followed by consequences that are satisfying to the organism are more likely to be repeated, and behaviors that are followed by unpleasant consequences are less likely to be repeated (Thorndike, 1911).

When a behavior is repeated more frequently because of the consequences that followed it?

Reinforcer. 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 a behavior is repeated after a pleasant consequence it is called?

Learning Objectives Now we turn to the second type of associative learning, operant conditioning. In operant conditioning, organisms learn to associate a behavior and its consequence (Table 1). A pleasant consequence makes that behavior more likely to be repeated in the future.

When we increase the behavior by applying a consequence it is called what?

Reinforcers. A consequence stimulus that increases the target behavior it follows is referred to as a reinforcer. There are two categories of reinforcers: unconditioned and conditioned.
