Learning that certain events occur together.  The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequence (as in operant conditioning)

In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.

• Generalization

• Extinction

• Discrimination

• Acquisition

• Higher Order Conditioning

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response.

• Extinction

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Discrimination

• Generalization

• Higher Order Conditioning

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Generalization

• Discrimination

• Acquistion

• Higher Order Conditioning

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

A procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus.  For example, an animal that has learned that a tone predicts food might then learn that a light predicts the tone and begin responding to the light alone. (Also called second-order conditioning.)

• Acquisition

• Higher-Order Conditioning

• Extinction

• Generalization

• Discrimination

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

The diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.

• Discrimination

• Generalization

• Acquisition

• Spontaneous recovery

• Extinction

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response.  In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response.

• Acquisition

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Extinction

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally – naturally and automatically – triggers a response (UR).

• Neutral Stimulus (NS)

• Unconditioned Response (UR)

• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

• Conditioned response (CR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR).

• Neutral Stimulus (NS)

• Unconditioned Response (UR)

• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

• Conditioned response (CR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.

In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).

• Neutral Stimulus (NS)

• Unconditioned Response (UR)

• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

• Conditioned response (CR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
