Learning
|
A relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience.
|
|
|
Classical Conditioning
|
A type of learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes paired (associated) with a stimulus that causes a reflexive behavior and, in time, is sufficient to produce that behavior.
|
|
|
Unconditioned Stimulus
|
A stimulus that elicits an automatic respsonse, wihtout requiring prior learning.
|
|
|
Unconditioned Response
|
The reflexive response elicited by a particular stimulus.
|
|
|
Conditioned Stimulus
|
An orginally neutral stimulus that acquires significance through the "conditioning" of repeated pairings with an unconditioned stimulus (US).
|
|
|
Conditioned Response
|
A response that depends, or is conditional, on pairings of the conditioned stimulus which an uncondtioned stimulus; once learned, the onditioned response occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented alone.
|
|
|
Acquisition
|
the technical name given to the initial learning of the conditioned response.
|
|
|
Avoidance Learning
|
In classical conditioning, learning that occurs when a CS is paired with an unpleasant US that leads the organism to try to avoid the CS.
|
|
|
Extinction (CC)
|
The process in which a CR comes to be eliminated through repeated presentations of the CS without the presense of the US.
|
|
|
Extinction (OP)
|
The fading out of a response following an initial burst of a behavior after the withdrawal of reinforcement.
|
|
|
Spontaneous Recovery (CC)
|
The recovery by which the CS will again elicit the CR after extinction has occured.
|
|
|
Spontaneous Recovery (OP)
|
The process by which an old response reappears if there is a break after extinction.
