Classical Conditioning

Extinction

________: when conditioned response is weakened /eliminated by repeatedly presenting CS alone.

Sensory preconditioning

________: when one stimulus is conditioned as a CS, another previously paired stimulus can also become a CS.

Higher order

________ conditioning: transfer of conditioning to another stimulus through association.

Acquisition

________: process of developing and strengthening a conditioned response through repeated pairings of neutral stimulus with unconditioned stimulus.

CS

Extinguished response can be reacquired rapidly when the ________ or NS is once again paired with US.

Stimulus discrimination

________: tendency for a response to be caused more by one stimulus than another.

Stimulus generalization

________: tendency for CR to occur in presence of stimulus similar to CS.

Acquisition

process of developing and strengthening a conditioned response through repeated pairings of neutral stimulus with unconditioned stimulus

Extinction

when conditioned response is weakened/eliminated by repeatedly presenting CS alone

ex

anielle was really scared of cats, so more exposure to declan w no problems helped extinguish that fear

Stimulus generalization

tendency for CR to occur in presence of stimulus similar to CS

ex

Albert or whatever and the bunny ➝ all white things

Stimulus discrimination

tendency for a response to be caused more by one stimulus than another

basic conditioning

basic reaction to an event, such as a dog salivating at sight of food

higher-order conditioning

transfer of conditioning to another stimulus through association

sensory preconditioning

when one stimulus is conditioned as a CS, another previously paired stimulus can also become a CS

ex

toolshed has wasps

spontaneous recovery

extinguished response can be reacquired rapidly when the CS or NS is once again paired with the US

basic conditioning

basic reaction to an event, such as a dog salivating at the sight of food

Learning

a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience.

Shaping

the operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior towards the desired target behavior through successive approximations(increasing similarity to desired response).
