ch 3 Schlinger Flashcards
largely inborn and usually permanent reflex found in virtually all members of a species and that varies little from individual to individual
unconditional reflex
type of reflex is not present at birth it must be acquired through experience
conditional reflex
unconditional stimulus
a stimulus that elicits and unconditional response
the stimulus that is regularly paired with a US
conditional stimulus
the reflex response elicited by an unconditional stimulus
unconditional response
the response elicited by a conditional stimulus
conditional stimulus
two defining features of classical conditioning.
two defining features of classical conditioning. the behavior elicited by the US is a reflex response; the appearance of the two stimuli is independent of behavior
four different ways to pairing a CS and a US
trace paring
delayed pairing
simultaneous pairing
backward pairing
-an if- then statement one event, X, is contingent on another event, Y, to the extent that X occurs if and only if Y occurs.
contingency
to the closeness in time or space between two events; the CS and US
contiguity
CS that consist of two or more stimuli presented simultaneously
compound stimuli
failure of a stimulus that is part of a compound stimulus to become a
CS
overshadowing
the appearance of a neutral stimulus without the US interferes with the ability of that stimulus to become a later CS later.
laten inhibition
failure of a stimulus to become a CS when it is part of compount stimulus that includes an affective CS
blocking
the procedure of repeatedly presenting the CS alone
pavlocian (classical) extinction
