Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stimulus enhancement refers to the direction of an organism's attention towards specific objects, events or locations, as a result of another organism's action or presence. The behavior of the other organism serves as a cue or a highlight, which then influences the behavior or attention of the observing organism. This is different from imitation, which involves the reproduction of the observed behavior, and from observational conditioning, which involves the learning of associations between stimuli through observation. Contagion refers to the spread of emotional or behavioral responses among individuals in a group, without necessarily involving any explicit observational learning or attentional direction.
