Definitions:

Reinforcement

In behavioral psychology, a consequence applied that strengthens an organism's future behavior whenever that behavior is preceded by a specific antecedent stimulus.

Latent Learning

Learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement of the behavior or associations that are learned, becoming apparent only when there is an incentive to demonstrate it.

Variable-Ratio

A schedule of reinforcement where a response is rewarded after an unpredictable number of responses, often used in gambling and behavior training.

Shaping

A method used in behavior therapy and training that involves reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior until the desired behavior is achieved.
