Definitions:

Discriminative Operant

A type of operant conditioning where the organism learns to respond differently to various stimuli depending on whether the behavior will be reinforced.

Anticipatory Contrast

The long-lasting change in response due to an anticipated change in the reinforcement contingency.

Generalization of Inhibition

Generalization of inhibition occurs when an organism learns to suppress a response not only to the conditioned stimulus but also to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus, demonstrating a broadening of inhibitory control.

Generalization Gradient

A graph that shows the strength of responding in the presence of stimuli that vary in similarity to the conditioned stimulus; typically, responses diminish as stimuli become less similar.
