classical conditioning

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Association   A learned connection between two (or more) objects or events - especially significant in classical conditioning.  
🗑
Aversion therapy   A form of treatment using classical conditioning to cause an undesired behaviour to create an unwanted response, thereby reducing the incidence of the behaviour.  
🗑
Classical (Pavlovian) conditioning   Reflexive response elicited by previously neutral stimulus through repeated association.  
🗑
Extinction   When a response no longer occurs - in classical conditioning, when the conditioned stimulus is presented several times after the unconditioned stimulus has been withdrawn.  
🗑
Flooding   Actual exposure of patient to feared stimulus at a level greater than usual.  
🗑
Graduated exposure   A form of treatment using gradually increasing levels of fear-provoking stimuli paired with induced relaxation, thereby reducing the incidence and level of phobic reaction to the stimulus.  
🗑
Learning   A relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience.  
🗑
Neutral stimulus   The name given to the conditioned stimulus before it becomes conditioned. It is referred to as a neutral stimulus while it fails to produce a response.  
🗑
Spontaneous recovery   The reappearance of an extinguished response after a rest period.  
🗑
Stimulus discrimination   When an organism responds to the conditioned stimulus but not to any stimulus which is similar to the stimulus.  
🗑
Stimulus generalisation   When an organism responds to a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Unconditioned (reflex) response   The response that occurs automatically when the unconditioned stimulus is presented. The UCR is a reflexive or involuntary response as it is predictably caused by an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Unconditioned stimulus   Any stimulus which consistently produces a particular naturally occurring automatic response (e.g. the food in Pavlov's experiments).  
🗑
