Phylogeny
A branch of biology that deals with genetically-inherited behavior.
B.3 Identify and distinguish between respondent and operant conditioning.
Respondent behavior
An involuntary behavior that is part of an organism’s genetic endowment, elicited without any prior learning, when an eliciting stimulus (US) produces a behavior (UR/REFLEX).
Respondent conditioning
What occurs when an unconditioned stimulus (US) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (NS), causing the neutral stimulus to become a conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits the reflexive behavior

Let’s clarify the concept of automaticity of reinforcement and punishment, and its distinction from automatic reinforcement. With a relatable example, PTB founder Dana explains how an individual’s behavior can be influenced without consciously knowing the reasons behind their actions.

Three-term contingency:
Known as the ABCs of behavior and involves an occasion for a behavior (A/SD), the behavior itself (B), and the consequence(C) that follows that behavior. These components (i.e., the antecedent,
Unconditioned response (UR)
An unlearned, automatic response (reflex) that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
A stimulus that elicits an automatic response without any prior learning
