compound-stimulus test

A

A test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibitor if that stimulus reduces the responding elicited by a conditioned excitatory stimulus. Also called summation test

Q

conditioned suppression

A

Suppression of ongoing behavior (e.g., drinking or lever pressing for food) produced by the presentation of a CS that has been conditioned to elicit fear through association with an aversive US

Q

explicitly unpaired control

16
Q

long-delayed conditioning

A

A conditioning procedure in which the US occurs more than several minutes after the start of the CS, as in taste-aversion learning

17
Q

magnitude of a response

A

A measure of the size, vigor, or extent of a response

18
Q

object learning

A

Learning associations between different stimulus features of an object, such as what it looks like and how it tastes.

19
Q

probability of a response

A

the likelihood of making the response, usually represented in terms of the percentage of trials on which the response occurs

20
Q

pseudo-conditioning

A

increased responding that may occur to a stimulus whose presentations are intermixed with presentations of a US in the absence of the establishment of an association between the stimulus and the US.

21
Q

random control procedure

A

A procedure in which the CS and US are presented at random times with respect to each other.

22
Q

retardation of acquisition test

A

A test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibitor if that stimulus is slower to acquire excitatory properties than a comparison stimulus

23
Q

short-delayed conditioning

A

A classical conditioning procedure in which the CS is initiated shortly before the US on each conditioning trial

24
Q

sign tracking

A

Movement toward ans possibily contact with a stimulus that signals the availability of a positive reinforcer, such as food. Also called autoshaping

25
Q

simultaneous conditioning

A

A classical conditioning procedure in which the CS and the US are presented at the same time on each conditioning trial

26
Q

summation test

A

Same as compound-stimulus test

27
Q

temporal coding hypothesis

A

The idea that Pavlovian conditioning procedures lead not only to learning that the US happens but exactly when it occurs in relation to the CS. The CS represents (or codes) the timing of the US

28
Q

test trial

A

A trial in which the CS is presented without the US. This allows measurement of the CR in the absence of the UR

29
Q

trace conditioning

A

A classical conditioning procedure in which the US is presented after the CS has been terminated for a short period

30
Q

trace interval

A

the interval between the end of the CS and the start of the US in trace-conditioning trials

31
Q

unconditioned response

A

A response that occurs to a stimulus without the necessity of prior training

32
Q

unconditioned stimulus

A

A stimulus that elicits a particular response without the necessity of prior training
