Learning

TermDefinition
Learning The process of acquiring new and relatively enduring information or behaviors.
Habituation
Associative Learning Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioned) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning)
Classical Conditioning A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events.
Behaviorism The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2).
UR Unconditioned Response In classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus (US).
US Unconditioned Stimulus In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally - naturally and automatically- triggers a response (UR).
CR Conditioned Response In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS)
CS Conditioned Stimulus In classical conditioned, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR).
Acquisition In classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response in operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response.
Higher-order conditioning A procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioned experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus (also called second 1 order
