• Learning

• Associative Learning

• Acquisition

• Latent Learning

______________ is a type of learning that take place when an original neutral stimulus comes to produce a conditioned response because of its association with an unconditioned stimulus.

A(n) _________________ is a stimulus that elicits a response only after learning has taken place.

• neutral stimulus

• unconditioned stimulus

• positive stimulus

A(n) ____________________ is a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• neutral response

______________ is the repeated pairing of the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus; the organism is in the process of acquiring learning.

• Extinction
