|
learning |
a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience |
|
|
classical conditioning
|
a simple form of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to evoke the response usually evoked by another stimulus by being paried repeatedly with the other stimulus |
|
|
reflex |
a simple unlearned response to a stimulus |
|
|
stimulus |
an environmental condition that elicits a response |
|
|
unconditioned stimulus (UCS) |
a stimulus that elicits a response from an organism prior to conditioning |
|
|
unconditioned response (UCR) |
an unlearned response to an unconditioned stimulus |
|
|
orienting reflex |
an unlearned response in which an organism attends to a stimulus |
|
|
conditioned stimulus (CS) |
a previously neutral stimulus that elicits a conditioned response b/c it has been paired repeatedly with a stimulus that already elicited that response |
|
|
conditioned response (CR) |
a learned response to a conditioned stimulus |
|
|
extinction |
the process by which stimuli lose their ability to evoke learned responses b/c the events that had followed the stimuli no longer occur (the learned responses are said to be extinguished) |
|
|
generalization |
in conditioning, the tendency for a conditioned response to be evoked by stimuli that are similar to the stimulus to which the response was conditioned. |
|
|
discrimination |
in conditioning, the tendency for an organism to distinguish b/w a conditioned stimulus and similar stimuli that do not forecast an unconditioned stimulus |
|
|
higher-order conditioning |
a classical conditioning procedure in which a previously neutral stimulus comes to elicit the response brought forth by a conditioned stimulus by being paired repeatedly with that conditioned stimulus |
