classical conditioning

TermDefinition
Association A learned connection between two (or more) objects or events - especially significant in classical conditioning.
Aversion therapy A form of treatment using classical conditioning to cause an undesired behaviour to create an unwanted response, thereby reducing the incidence of the behaviour.
Classical (Pavlovian) conditioning Reflexive response elicited by previously neutral stimulus through repeated association.
Extinction When a response no longer occurs - in classical conditioning, when the conditioned stimulus is presented several times after the unconditioned stimulus has been withdrawn.
Flooding Actual exposure of patient to feared stimulus at a level greater than usual.
Graduated exposure A form of treatment using gradually increasing levels of fear-provoking stimuli paired with induced relaxation, thereby reducing the incidence and level of phobic reaction to the stimulus.
Learning A relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience.
Neutral stimulus The name given to the conditioned stimulus before it becomes conditioned. It is referred to as a neutral stimulus while it fails to produce a response.
Spontaneous recovery The reappearance of an extinguished response after a rest period.
Stimulus discrimination When an organism responds to the conditioned stimulus but not to any stimulus which is similar to the stimulus.
Stimulus generalisation When an organism responds to a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned (reflex) response The response that occurs automatically when the unconditioned stimulus is presented. The UCR is a reflexive or involuntary response as it is predictably caused by an unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned stimulus Any stimulus which consistently produces a particular naturally occurring automatic response (e.g. the food in Pavlov's experiments).
