|
Disinhibition |
When the presentation of a novel stimulus results in a sudden recovery of a previously extinguished behavior. |
|
|
Experimental Neurosis |
An experimentally produced disorder in which animals exposed to unpredictable events develop neurotic-like symptoms. |
|
|
Higher-order Conditioning |
The process whereby a neutral stimulus that is associated with a CS also becomes a CS. |
|
|
Occasion Setting |
A procedure in which a stimulus signals whether a CS is likely to be followed by a US and thereby controls whether the CS will Elicit a CR. |
|
|
Overshadowing |
When two NS are paired to condition a CR, the NS that is more intense or attention grabbing with become the CS. Interfering with the conditioning of the other, less intense NS. |
|
|
Semantic Generalization |
The generalization of a conditioned response to verbal stimuli that are similar in meaning to the CS. |
|
|
Sensory Preconditioning |
When one stimulus is conditioned as a CS, another stimulus with which it was previously associated can also becomes a CS. |
|
|
Spontaneous recovery |
A reappearance of a CR after extinction has taken place and a rest period. |
|
|
Stimulus Discrimination |
The tendency for a response to be elicited more by one stimulus than another. |
|
|
Stimulus Generalization |
Tendency for a CR to occur in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to the CS |
|
|
US Revaluation
|
A process that involves the post conditioning presentation of the US at a different level of intensity, thereby altering the strength of response to the previously conditioned CS.
|
|
|
Aquisition |
The process of developing and strengthening a conditioned response though repeated pairings of a NS and an US |
|
|
Extinction |
Weakening a CR by presenting the CS on its own. |
|
|
Blocking |
When a previously conditioned stimulus interferes with the conditioning of a new CS. |
|
|
Latent Inhibition |
Familiar Stimuli are harder to condition than novel stimuli. |
|
|
More intense Stimlus |
More rapid conditioning |
|
|
A previously extinguished CR can be more/less rapidly reacquired after extinction has taken place by repeating the pairing of the CS and the US. |
More rapidly |
