Fixed ratio reinforcement is reinforcement delivered after a fixed number of responses.

Negative reinforcement involves removing a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.

Fading describes the process of gradually reducing reinforcement to shape a behavior.

A discriminative stimulus signals when a behavior will be reinforced.

Extinction refers to the gradual decrease in the frequency of a behavior when it is no longer reinforced.

Using punishment may lead to unintended negative side effects.

Functional analysis involves analyzing the function or purpose of a behavior.

Variable ratio reinforcement involves reinforcement delivered after an unpredictable number of responses.

Fixed interval reinforcement involves reinforcement delivered after a fixed amount of time.
