A neutral stimulus that, after repetated paring with unconditioned stimulus, becomes associated with it and elicits a conditioned response.

Back 7

Conditioned stimulus

Front 8

Back 8

Conditioned response

Front 9

Conditioning that occurs when conditioned stimuli are linked together to form a series of signals.

Back 9

Higher-order conditioning

Front 10

In classical conditioning, the weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response as a result of repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimuls

Extinction

Front 11

In classical conditioning, the tendency to make a conditioned response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus

Back 11

Generalization

Front 12

Back 16

Law of effect

Front 17

A type of learning in which the consequences of behavior are manipulated so as to increase or decrease the frequency of an existing response or to shape an entirely new response.

Back 17

Operant conditioning

Front 18

Any event that follows a response and strengthens or increases the probability that the response will be repeated

Back 18

Reinforcement

Front 19

Back 31

Learned helplessness

Hint 31
