6.1 Flashcards
What is a conditioned response?
The learned response that occurs to the conditioned stimulus (the dog)
What is acquisition?
The initial phase of learning in which a response is established
The learned response that occurs to the conditioned stimulus is known as the _________________.
Conditioned response
A once neutral stimulus that elicits a conditioned response because it has a history of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus is known as a ____________________.
Conditioned stimulus
What is extinction?
The loss or weakening of a conditioned response when a conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus no longer occur together
What is spontaneous recovery?
The reoccurrence of a previously extinguished conditioned response, typically after some time has passed since the extinction
What is stimulus generalization?
A process where s response that originally occurs to a specific stimulus also occurs to different, though similar, stimuli
What is discrimination?
Occurs when an organism learns to respond to one original stimulus but not to new stimuli that may be similar to the original stimulus
What are conditioned emotional responses?
Emotional and physiological responses that develop to a specific object or situation
What is the reoccurrence of s previously extinguished conditioned response, typically after some time has passed since extinction?
Spontaneous recovery
In classical conditioning, the process during which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus is known as _____________.
Acquisition
What is preparedness?
The biological predisposition to rapidly learn a response to a particular class of stimuli
Conditioning a response can take longer if the subject experiences e conditioned stimulus repeatedly before it is actually paired with a US, this phenomenon is known as _________________.
Latent inhibition
What is a conditioned stimulus?
A once neutral stimulus that later elicits a conditioned response because it has a history of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus (the food)
