Question
Answer
Unconditioned Stimulus US   a stimulus that causes a natural and automatic response from the organism (reinforcer)  
Unconditioned Response UR   natural and automatic response that is elicited when an unconditioned stimulus is presented to the organism  
Conditioned Stimulus CS   a stimulus that before conditioning does not cause an organism to respond in any particular way  
Conditioned response CR   also called the Conditioned Reflex. a response that is made to a stimulus not originally associated with hat response. (salvation to a ring of a bell)  
Extinction   when the conditioned stimulus is presented to the organism and is not followed by a response  
Spontaneous recovery   Following a delay after extinction, the CS again elicits conditioned responses.  
Secondary Reinforcer    
Primary Reinforcer   Unconditioned Stimulus  
Higher-Order Conditioning   Second Order Conditioning, Third Order Conditioning  
Generalization   The tendency for an organism to respond not only to the specific stimulus it was trained on but also to related stimuli.  
Discrimination   Learning to respond to one stimulus but not to other stimuli, although they may be related to the first.  
Backward Conditioning   The CS is presented to the organism after the US is presented.  
Information Value   The ability of a stimulus to act as a signal to an organism that a significant event is about to occur.  
Excitation   An increase in brain activity. (positive stimulus)  
Inhibition   A decrease in brain activity. (Negative Stimulus)  
Dynamic Stereotype   Mapping of the events consistently occurring in the environment.  
Irradiation of Excitation   the tendency of excitation or inhibition in the specific area of the brain to spill over into neighboring brain regions.  
Cortical Mosaic   The patter of excitation and inhibition that constitutes the activity of the cortex at any given moment.  
Concentration   Excitation and inhibition can be focused or restrict to certain parts of the brain  
Excitatory Conditioning   Classical conditioning observed when a CS-US pairing produces a response  
Conditioned Inhibition   Instrumental/Operant: is a learned response of not responding. Classical: CS-US pairing suppresses a response  
External Inhibition   The disruptive effect that occurs when a novel stimulus is presented along with an already established CS  
Disinhibition    
Orienting Reflex    
First Signal System    
Second Signal System    
Semantic Generalization    
Renewal Effect    
Reinstatement    
Overshadowing    
Blocking    
Conditioned Emotional Response CER    
Condition Suppression    
Forward Conditioning    
Truly Random Control Group    
Learned Helplessness    
latent inhibition Effect    
Learned Irrelevance    
Super Conditioning   Describes the facilitation of condition that occurs when an established conditioned inhibitor (cs-) is subsequently paired with the US  
Garcia Effect   observation that animals form strong taste aversions easily and contradiction of classical conditioning  
John. B Watson   Founder of the school of Behaviorism. According to Watson, the only reliable, observable, and measurable subject matter available to psychologist is behavior, and therefore behavior is all that psychologist should study. Human behavior was learned.  
Behaviorism   A school of psychology, founded by Watson, that completely rejected the study of consciousness.  
Counter Conditioning   The technique used to eliminate undesirable behavior where by a CS is paired with a US other than the one that originally reinforced the undesirable behavior.  
Flooding   Using the technique of flooding the organism is forced to experience feared CS long enough to learn that aversive experience will not follow, thus creating the conditions necessary for extinction  
Systematic Desensitization   Therapeutic technique developed by Wolpe whereby a phobia is extinguished by having a client approached the feared experience one small step at a time while relaxing after each step.  
Anxiety Hierarchy   The initial stage of Wolpe's therapeutic technique of systematic desensitization. Take a series of related anxiety experiences and ordering them from the experience that causes the greatest amount of anxiety to the least amount.
