|
Appetitive Conditioning |
Conditioning procedure in which the US is an appetitive even |
|
|
Aversive Conditioning |
Conditioning procedure in which the US is an aversive event |
|
|
Backward Conditioning |
Conditioning procedure in which the onset of the NS follows the onset of the US |
|
|
Classical Conditioning |
A contingency between a stimulus that elicits a response that is the product of the two being associated with each other. AKA Pavlovian or Respondent Conditioning |
|
|
Conditioned Response (CR) |
Response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus |
|
|
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) |
Any stimulus that was initially neutral, comes to elicit a response because it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus. |
|
|
Delayed Conditioning |
Conditioning procedure in which the onset of the NS precedes the onset of the US, and the two stimuli overlap. |
|
|
Dishabituation |
Reappearance of a habituated response to a stimulus following the presentation of another, seemingly irrelevant novel stimulus. |
|
|
Elicited Bx |
Bx that is drawn out by a preceding Stimulus (respondent Bx) |
|
|
Excitatory Bx |
Conditioning in which the NS is associated with the presentation of a US |
|
|
Fixed Action Pattern |
A fixed sequence of responses elicited by a specific stimulus |
|
|
Flexion Response |
Automatic response of jerking one's hand or foot away from hot or sharp object |
|
|
Habituation |
Decrease in the strength of an elicited Bx following repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus |
|
|
Inhibitory Conditioning |
Conditioning in which the NS is associated with the Absence or Removal of a US. |
|
|
Opponent-Process Theory |
Emotional Event elicits two competing responses. 1. A a-process (Primary Process) that is directly elicited by the event 2. A b-process (opponent process) that is elicited by the a-process and serves to counteract the a-process |
|
|
Orienting Response |
Automatic positioning of oneself to facilitate attending to a stimulus. |
|
|
Psuedoconditioning |
A situation in which and elicited response that appears to be a CR is actually the result of sensitization rather than conditioning |
|
|
Reflex |
Relatively simple, involuntary responce to a stimulus |
|
|
Reflex arc |
Neural structure that underlies many simple reflexes of a sensory neuron, an interneuron and a motor neuron |
|
|
Sensitization |
An increase in the strength of an elicited response following repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus |
|
|
Sign Stimulus (releaser) |
Specific stimulus that elicits a fixed action pattern |
|
|
Simultaneous conditioning |
Conditioning in which the onset of the NS and the onset of the US are simultaneous` |
|
|
Startle Response |
Defensive reaction to sudden, unexpected stimulus. Involves automatic tightening of muscles and various hormonal and visceral changes. |
|
|
Temporal Conditioning |
Forms of Classical Conditioning in which the CS is the passage of time |
|
|
Trace conitioning |
Conditioning in which the onset and offset of the NS precede the onset of the US |
|
|
Unconditioned Response (UR) |
Response that us naturally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus |
|
|
Unconditioned Stimulus (US) |
Stimulus that naturally elicits a response. |
