|
|
conditioned stimulus (CS) |
after association w/ US, triggers a conditioned response |
|
|
acquisition |
when one links a neutral stimulus and an US so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the CR |
|
|
high-order conditioning |
a procedure in which the CS is paired w/ a new neutral stimulus, creating a second CS |
|
|
extinction |
the diminishing of a CR; happens when an US does not follow a CS |
|
|
spontaneous recovery |
the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response |
|
|
generalization |
the tenedency for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit similar responses |
|
|
discrimination |
the learned abiliy to distinguish between a CS and stimuli that do not signal an US |
