A

Learning association b/w 2 stimuli

can have stimulus generalization and discrimination

  • Unconditioned stimulus
    • biologically relevant

  • Unconditioned response
    • Automatic response to unconditioned stimulus
  • Neutral stimulus
    • no physiological or emotional response of interest
  • Conditioned stimulus
    • causes emotional or physiological response after conditioning
    • used to be a neutral stimulus
  • Conditioned Response
