AP Psych: Classical Conditioning

TermDefinition
conditioning reaction to an object or event by a person or animal can be modified by "learning"
unconditioned stimulus (UCS) an event that elicits a certain predictable response without previous training
unconditioned response (UCR) the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
neutral stimulus any stimulus that produces no conditioned response prior to learning
conditioned stimulus (CS) originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an UCS, triggers a CR
conditioned response (CR) the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS)
acquisition initial learning of associative relationship; in classical conditioning, when CS is paired with UCS to produce the CR; in operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response
extinction the diminishing of a CR; in classical conditioning when the UCS doesn't follow a CS; in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced
spontaneous recovery reappearance, after a rest period, of a previously extinguished CR
generalization the tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the CS
discrimination the ability to perceive and respond to differences among stimuli
higher order learning when CS regularly creates CR, it can be paired with another stimulus for additional conditioning
Ivan Pavlov russian physiologist who described classical conditioning after landmark study with dogs
John Watson founder of behaviorist perspective; conducted "little albert" experiment involving fear conditioning
