QuestionAnswer
A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience. Learning
Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli or a response and its consequences. Associative Learning
A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. Classical Conditioning
Studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Should be an objective science. Behaviorism
Unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivation when food is in the mouth. Unconditioned response
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically- triggers a response. unconditioned stimulus
the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. conditioned response
an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response. conditioned stimulus
the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so tat the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response. acquisition
procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second conditioned stimulus. higher-order conditioning
the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus; occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced. extinction
the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response. spontaneous recovery
the tendency once a response has been conditioned for similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses. generalization
the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus. discrimination
