TABLE 1-17-4 -Important Concepts in Behavior Theory
| Modeling | A form of learning based on observing others and imitating their actions and responses |
| Classical conditioning | A form of learning in which a neutral stimulus is repetitively paired with a natural stimulus, with the result that the previously neutral stimulus alone becomes capable of eliciting the same response as the natural stimulus |
| Operant conditioning | A form of learning in which environmental events (contingencies) influence the acquisition of new behaviors or the extinction of existing behaviors |
