- 26infrahuman species"species lower than human organisms" (p.192)
- 27unconscious processes"drives or cues of which are unaware because they are unlabeled or repressed" (p.194)

- 33operant behavior"responses emitted without a stimulus necessarily being present" (p. 199)
- 34operant conditioning"the process by which an operant response becomes associated wit a reinforcement through learning" (199)
- 35shaping"molding of an organism's behavior" (p. 200)

- 43ratio reinforcement"the rate of reinforcement determined by the number of appropriate responses" (p. 202)
- 44generalized conditioned reinforcers"learned reinforcers that have the power to reinforce a great number of different behaviors" (p. 202)
- 45positive reinforcement"occurs when a behavior is followed by a situation that increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring in the future" (p. 202)
- 46negative reinforcement"when a behavior is followed the termination of an unpleasant situation, increasing the likelihood of that behavior in similar situations" (p. 202)
- 47punishment"when a behavior is followed by an unpleasant situation design to eliminate it" (p. 202)
- 48satiation"entails the permitting the behavior to occur until the individual tires of it" (p. 202)
