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
the CS merely substitutes for the US and evoking the reflex response
stimulus substitution theory
the CR prepares the organism for the US
preparatory response theory
that the CR prepares the organism for the US by compensating for its effects
compensatory response theory
a procedure in which two neutral stimuli are paired, after which one is repeatedly pair with a US
sensory preconditioning
the reappearance of a CR after a extinction
spontaneous recovery
