|
backward conditioning
|
A pavlovian conditioning procedure in which the US precedes the CS
|
|
|
blocking
|
failure of a stimulus to become a CS when it is part of a compound stimulus that includes an effective CS. The effective CS is said to block the formation of a new CS
|
|
|
classical conditioning
|
the procedure of pairing a neutral stimulus (CS) with a US. also called pavlovian conditioning
|
|
|
compound stimulus
|
two or more stimuli presented simultaneously, often as a CS
|
|
|
conditional reflex
|
a reflex acquired through Pavlovain conditioning and consisting of a conditional stimulus and a conditional response
|
|
|
conditional response (CR)
|
The response part of a conditional reflex; the response elicited by a conditional stimulus. Often called conditioned response.
|
|
|
conditional stimulus (CS)
|
The stimulus part of a conditional reflex; the stimulus that elicits a conditional response. often called conditioned stimulus.
|
|
|
contiguity
|
Nearness of events in time (temporal contiguity) or space (spatial contiguity)
|
|
|
contingency
|
A dependency between events. an event may be stimulus contingent (dependent on the appearance of a stimulus) or response contingent (dependent on the appearance of a behavior)
|
|
|
delayed conditioning
|
A Pavlovian conditioning procedure in which the CS starts before, and then overlaps with, the US.
|
|
|
In Pavlovian conditioning, the procedure of repeatedly presenting a CS without the US.
|
extinction
|
|
|
A variation of Pavlovian conditioning in which a stimulus is paired, not with a US, but with a well established CS
|
higher-order conditioning
|
|
|
The interval between the CS and the US. The ISI is a measure of contiguity in Pavlovian conditioning
|
interstimulus interval (ISI)
|
|
|
the interval seperating the trials of a discrete trial procedure
|
intertrial interval
|
|
|
In Pavlovian conditioning, the failure of a CR to appear as result of prior presentation of the CS in the absence of the US.
|
latent inhibition
|
|
|
Failure of a stimulus that is part of a compound stimulus to become a CS. The stimulus is said to be overshadowed by the stimulus that does become a CS.
|
overshadowing
|
|
|
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
|
Pavlovian conditioning
|
|
|
The tendecy of a neutral stimulus to elicit a CR when presented after a US has elicited a reflex response. "" "" is apparently due to sensitization
|
pseudoconditioning
|
|
|
A theory of Pavlovian conditioning based on the assumption that the amount of learning that canoccur on a particular trial is limited by the nature of the CS and US and the amount of learning that has already occured. (see equation in book).
|
Rescorla-Wagner model
|
|
|
A procedure in which two neutral stimuli are paired, after which one is repeatedly paired with a US. If the other stimulus is the presented alone, it may elicit a CR even though it was never paired with the US.
|
sensory preconditioning
|
|
|
the sudden reappearance of a behavior following extinction
|
spontaneous recovery
|
|
|
In Pavlovian conditioning, the theory that the CS substitutes for the US. Assumes that the CR is essentially the same as the UR.
|
stimulus-substitution theory
|
|
|
In Pavlovian conditioning, the procedure of presenting the CS on some occasions without the US to determine whether learning has occurred.
|
test trial
|
|
|
A Pavlovian conditioning in which the CS begins and ends before the US is presented
|
trace conditioning
|
|
|
a synonym for reflex. " " consists of an unconditional stimulus and an unconditional response
|
unconditional reflex
|
|
|
^
|
unconditional reflex
|
|
|
The response elicited by an unconditional stimulus. often called an unconditioned response
|
unconditional response (UR)
|
|
|
the stimulus that elicits an unconditional response. often called an unconditioned stimulus.
|
unconditional stimulus (US)
|
