Unconditioned response
how you naturally react to the stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
what you learned triggers response
Conditioned Response
how you react to the learned stimulus
Neutral Stimulus
stimulus that does not trigger a natural response
Extinction
diminishing of conditioned response
Spontaneous Recovery
return of conditioned response despite lack of further conditioning
Stimulus Discrimination
responding differently to similar stimulus
Stimulus Generalization
responding same way to similar stimulus
Higher Order Conditioning

Counterconditioning
linking new, positive response to previously negative stimuli
