Chapter 5 Terms Psych

What is Stimulus?

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• A feature in the environment that is detected by an organism or leads to a change in behavior.

• A timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occurs.

• A therapy procedure based on classical conditioning.

What does Response mean?

• An observable reaction to a stimulus.

• A type of learning that involves stimulus-response connections.

• A stimulus such as food or warmth that has reinforcement value without learning.

• Learning that occurs but remains hidden until needed for use.

What is Conditioning?

• A learned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.

• A type of learning that involves stimulus-response connections in which the response is conditional on the stimulus.

• The disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus.

• A stimulus that increases the probability of a response because of its association with a primary reinforcer.

What is Classical Conditioning?

• Learning by observing and imitating the behavior of others.

• A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit an unconditioned response when that neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that normally causes an unconditioned response.

• A type of conditioned learning in which only some of the responses are reinforced.

• A fear-reduction technique that involves exposing the individual to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus are extinguished.

What does Unconditioned Response mean?

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• In classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits an unlearned, naturally occurring response.

• An unpleasant stimulus that increases the frequency of behavior when it is removed.

• A timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occurs.

What is a Conditioned Response?

• A stimulus such as food or warmth that has reinforcement value without learning.

• The ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar.

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed.

What is Taste Aversion?

• A therapy procedure based on classical conditioning.

• The disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus.

• A type of classical conditioning in which a previously desirable or neutral food comes to be perceived as repugnant because it is associated with negative stimulation.

• A type of learning that involves stimulus-response connections.

What does Extinction mean in classical conditioning?

• The disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus.

• The tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics.

• Learning that occurs but remains hidden until needed for use.

• The reinforcement of a desired response every time it occurs.

What is Spontaneous Recovery?

• A timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occurs.

• The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed.

• An unpleasant stimulus that increases the frequency of behavior when it is removed.

• A fear-reduction technique that involves exposing the individual to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus are extinguished.

What does Generalization refer to?

• The ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar.

• The tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics.

• A stimulus that increases the probability of a response because of its association with a primary reinforcer.

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.
