| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| (1) spontaneous recovery, (2) disinhibition: during extinction, new stimulus evokes recovery, (3) reacquisition is faster than original | Evidence that extinction is not unlearning (3). |
| acquisition | The process of developing and strengthening a conditioned response through repeated pairings of an NS (or CS) with a US. |
| asymptote | The maximum amount of learning that can take place in a given situation. |
| blocking | The phenomenon whereby the presence of an established CS interferes with conditioning of a new NS. |
| compound stimulus | A complex stimulus that consists of the simultaneous presentation of two or more individual stimuli. |
| dishabituation | The reappearance of a habituated response following the presentation of a seemingly irrelevant novel stimulus. |
| disinhibition | During an extinction the sudden recovery of a response when a novel stimulus is introduced. |
| experimental neurosis | An experimentally produced disorder in which animals exposed to unpredictable events develop neurotic-like symptoms. |
| external inhibition | A decrease in the strength of the conditioned response due to the presentation of a novel stimulus at the same time as the conditioned stimulus. |
| extinction | The process (and procedure) whereby a conditioned response is weakened or eliminated by repeatedly presenting the CS in the absence of the US. |
| higher-order conditioning | The process whereby a second stimulus is associated with the first CS and becomes a CS. |
| latent inhibition, CS preexposure effect | The phenomenon whereby a familiar stimulus is more difficult to condition as a CS than is an unfamiliar (novel) stimulus. |
| occasion setting (with an occasion setter) | A procedure in which a stimulus signals that a CS is likely to be followed by the US with which it is associated. |
| overshadowing | The phenomenon whereby the most salient member of a compound stimulus is more readily conditioned as a CS and thereby interferes with conditioning of the less salient member. |
| pseudoconditioning | A situation in which an elicited response that appears (CR) is actually the result of sensitization rather than conditioning. |
| semantic generalization | The generalization of a conditioned response to verbal stimuli that are similar in meaning to the CS. |
| sensory preconditioning | The phenomenon whereby a stimulus previously associated with it can also become a CS. |
| sensory preconditioning | In this phenomenon, when one stimulus is conditioned as a CS, another stimulus it was previously associated with can also become a CS. |
| spontaneous recovery | The reappearance of a conditioned response following a rest period after extinction. |
| stimulus discrimination | The tendency for a response to be elicited more by one stimulus than another. |
| stimulus generalization | The tendency for a CR to occur in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to the CS. |
| temporal conditioning | A form of classical conditioning in which the CS is the passage of time. |
| US revaluation | A process that involves the postconditioning presentation of the US at a different level of intensity, thereby altering the strength of response to the previously conditioned CS. |
