Ch.5 Flashcards
Behaviors elicited by prior stimuli and that are not afected by their consequences.
Respondent behaviors
Establishing a response to a new stimulus by pairing that stimulus with another stimulus that elicits that response. Also called Pavlovian conditioning and classical conditioning.
Respondent conditioning
A stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning.
Unconditioned stimulus (US
A response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned response (UR)
A rule that states that if a neutral stimulus is followed closely in time by an unconditioned stimulus that elicits a speciic unconditioned response, then the previously neutral stimulus will also tend to elicit that or a similar response in the future.
Principle of respondent conditioning
A stimulus–response relationship in which a stimulus elicits a response because of prior respond- ent conditioning.
Conditioned relex
A stimulus that elicits a response because that stimulus has been paired with another stim- ulus that elicits that or a similar response.
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
Either a respondent response elicited by a conditioned stimulus or an operant response that has been strengthened by reinforcement.
Conditioned response (CR)
A procedure in which a stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus by being paired with another conditioned stimulus instead of with an unconditioned stimulus.
Higher-order conditioning
Conditioning a response that is incompatible with a conditioned response at the same time that the latter is being extinguished.
Counterconditioning
occurs when an organism has been conditioned so that a particular CS elicits a CR, and then a similar stimulus also elicits that CR.
Respondent Stimulus generalization
a stimulus functions as a CS to elicit a CR because that stimulus has been paired with a US that elicits that CR, but a similar stimulus does not function as a CS for that CR because the second stimulus has been paired with extinction trials.
respondent stimulus discrimination
Behavior that operates on the environment to generate consequences and is in turn inluenced by those consequences.
Operant behavior
he process of strengthening a behavior by reinforcing it or weakening it by punishing it.
Operant conditioning
