Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disinhibition refers to the increased likelihood of a person to engage in a behavior after observing someone else doing it without negative consequences. It is a type of observational learning that can lead to the strengthening of previously existing behaviors, rather than the development of new behaviors. Counterimitation, on the other hand, refers to the decrease in likelihood of a person engaging in a behavior after observing someone else doing it. Inhibition refers to the suppression of a behavior, rather than an increase in likelihood, and a negative reinforcement trap is not a term related to observational learning.
