Definitions:

Classical Conditioning

A training process resulting from the connection between a stimulus present in the environment and one that occurs naturally.

Partial Reinforcement

A conditioning strategy where only a portion of responses are reinforced, making the learned behavior more resistant to extinction.

Higher-Order Conditioning

A process in classical conditioning by which a stimulus that already elicits a conditioned response is used as a conditioned stimulus to condition a response to a new stimulus.

Latent Learning

Learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement or immediate demonstration of the learned behavior or knowledge, becoming apparent only when a situation calls for it.
