Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inhibition occurs when observational learning leads to a decrease in the likelihood of a behavior. Disinhibition refers to the opposite, where observational learning increases the likelihood of a behavior. Reinforcement and time-out are not related to observational learning specifically, but rather refer to principles of operant conditioning.
