Question
Answer
classical conditioning   learning to make an involuntary response (reflex) to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus that normally produces the reflex  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)   a naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary (reflex) response  
🗑
unconditioned response (UCR)   an involuntary (reflex) response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
neutral stimulus (NS)   stimulus that has no effect on the desired response  
🗑
conditioned stimulus (CS)   stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
conditioned response (CR)   learned reflex response to a conditioned stimulus.  
🗑
stimulus generalization   the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is only similar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response  
🗑
stimulus discrimination   the tendency to stop making a generalized response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus because the similar stimulus is never paired with the unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
extinction   the disappearance of weakening of a learned response following the removal of absence of the unconditioned stimulus (in classical conditioning) or the removal of a reinforcer (in operant conditioning)  
🗑
reinforcer   any event or object that, when following a response, increases the likelihood of that response occurring again  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   the reappearance of a learned response after extinction has occurred  
🗑
higher-order conditioning   occurs when a strong conditioned stimulus is paired with a neutral stimulus, causing the neutral stimulus to become a second conditioned stimulus.  
🗑
conditioned emotional response (CER)   emotional response that has become classically conditioned to occur to learned stimuli such as a fear of dogs or the emotional reaction that occurs when seeing an attractive person.  
🗑
vicarious conditioning   classical conditioning of a reflex response of emotion by watching the reaction of another person  
🗑
conditioned taste aversion   development of a nausea or aversive response to a particular taste because that taste was followed by a nausea reaction, occurring after only one association.  
🗑
stimulus generalization   the tendency to response to a stimulus that is only similar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response  
🗑
stimulus discrimination   the tendency to stop making a generalized response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus because the similar stimulus is never paired with the unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
