Chapter 6 Section 1

Front 1

counterconditioning

Back 1

a therapy procedure based on classical conditioning that replaces a negative response to a stimulus with a positive response

Front 2

systematic desensitization

Back 2

a type of counterconditioning, used to treat phobias, in which a pleasant, relaxed state is associated with gradually increasing anxiety-triggering stimuli

Front 3

flooding

Back 3

a fear-reduction technique based on the principles of classical conditioning that involves exposing the individual to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus are extinguished

Front 4

discrimination

Back 4

in classical conditioning, the ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar (2) unfair treatment of a person or group based on prejudice

Front 5

generalization

Back 5

the tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics

Front 6

spontaneous recovery

Back 6

the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed

Front 7

Extinction

Back 7

in classical conditioning, the disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus

Front 8

taste aversion

Back 8

a type of classical conditioning in which a previously desirable or neutral food comes to be perceived as repugnant because it is associated with negative stimulation

Front 9

Conditioned Stimulus

Back 9

a previously neutral stimulus that, because of pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, now causes a conditioned response

Front 10

conditioned response

Back 10

a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus

Front 11

unconditioned response

Back 11

in classical conditioning, an unlearned, automatic response

Front 12

unconditioned stimulus

Back 12

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits an unlearned, automatic response

Front 13

classical conditioning

Back 13

a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit an unconditioned response when that neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that normally causes an unconditioned response

Front 14

conditioning

Back 14

a type of learning that involves stimulus- response connections, in which the response is conditional on the stimulus
