Definitions:

Neutral Stimulus

A stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention, until it becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus through classical conditioning.

Classical Conditioning

A learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus.

Negative Reinforcement

Increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli. A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response. (Note: negative reinforcement is not punishment.)

Latent Learning

Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it.
