| The ability to connect stimuli (the changes that occur in our environment) with responses (behaviors or other actions). | Conditioning |

| Something (such as food) that naturally triggers a response. | Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) |
| The naturally occurring response (such as salivation) that follows the unconditioned stimulus. | Unconditioned Response (UCR) |
| A neutral stimulus that, after being repeatedly presented prior to the unconditioned stimulus, begins to evoke a similar response as the unconditioned stimulus. | Conditioned Stimulus (CS) |
| An acquired response to the formerly neutral stimulus. | Conditioned Response (CR) |
| The reduction in responding that occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus. | Extinction |
