What happens when the conditional stimulus no longer foretells the presentation of the unconditioned stimulus quizlet?

Consequences:

Reinforcement strengthens response or makes it more likely to recur.
Punishment weakens response or makes it less likely to occur
Primary reinforcement: a stimulus that is inherently reinforcing, typically satisfying a physiological need; eg food
Secondary reinforcement: stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through association with other reinforcers. Learned. Eg money

Positive reinforcement: a reinforcement procedure in which a response is followed by the presentation of, or increase the intensity of, a reinforcing stimulus; as a result, the response becomes stronger or more likely to occur.

Negative reinforcement: reinforcement procedure in which a response is followed by the removal, delay, or decrease in intensity of an unpleasant stimulus; as a result, the response becomes stronger or more likely to occur.
