Definitions:

Operant Conditioning

A learning process in which the strength of a behavior is modified by its consequences, such as rewards or punishments.

Extinction

In behavioral psychology, the process through which a conditioned response decreases in frequency and eventually disappears as a result of the conditioned stimulus being presented without reinforcement.

High Steady Rates

Constant and uniform frequencies or levels maintained over a period of time.

Continuous Reinforcement

A learning process in which a behavior is reinforced every time it occurs, leading to rapid learning.
