Q

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

conditional or conditioned stimulus (CS)

A

A stimulus that does not elicit a particular response initially, but comes to do so as a result of becoming associated with an US

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

evaluative conditioning

A

Q

explicitly unpaired control

A

A procedure in which both CS and US are presented, but with sufficient time between them so that they do not become associated with each other.

13
Q

interstimulus interval

A

the amount of time that elapses between the start of the CS and the start of the US during a classical conditioning trial. (CS-US interval)

Q

latency

A

start of a trial) and the response that is made to the
stimulus.

16
Q

lick-suppression procedure

A

A procedure for testing fear conditioning in which presentation of a fear-conditioned CS slows down the rate of drinking.

17
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.

18
Q

magnitude of a response

A

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

19
Q

object learning

A

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

20
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.

21
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.

22
Q

random control procedure

A

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

23
Q

retardation of acquisition test

A

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

24
Q

short-delayed conditioning

A

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

25
Q

sign tracking

A

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

26
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.

27
Q

summation test

A

compound-stimulus test

28
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.

29
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.

30
Q

trace conditioning

A

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

31
Q

trace interval

A

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

32
Q

UR/unconditioned response

A

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

33
Q

US/unconditioned stimulus

A

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