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
