One other thing: the term "reinforcement" was used in the film. It would have had to be translated into English from the original Russian subtitles, which makes me wonder if the term could have been translated in different ways. Jeff
Reinforcement is a term that is used repeatedly in "Conditioned Reflexes." It is a term that indicates strengthening of a conditioned reflex, typically tied to the number of pairings.
Go to Lecture III in Conditioned Reflexes on Chris Green's psychclassics web site and have your browser do a search on "reinforce." You will get several illustrative hits.
