16
Q

Blocking

A

takes place in three stages and shows the effect that conditioning one CS can have on the Conditioning of another CS.

17
Q

latent inhibition

A

the fact that if a neutral stimulus is presentd repeatedly without a UCS it is dificult to condition that stimuus at a later time.

18
Q

sensory preconditioning

A

when two neutral stimuli are presented together without a UCS, if one of those t=stimuli is later conditioned to a UCS the other stimulus will also acquire the conditioned response

19
Q

extinction phase

A

the steady decline is the strength of the conditioned response when the CS is presented alone without the UCs (decline in response strength following practice without a UCR)

20
Q

forgeting

A

the decline in response strength following a period without practice.

21
Q

Spontaneous recovery

A

reappearance of the extinguished response following without a breakfrom training

22
Q

counter conditioning

A

procedure that allows humans and non humans to replace one conditioned response with another.

23
Q

generaliztion gradient

A

the closer the similarly of the other object to the original CS, the stronger the tendency to respond.

24
Q

generalization decrement

A

the decrease in response strength as the similarity between the original CS and the other test stimuli decreases.

25
Q

experimental neurosis

A

emotional distress is caused when an individual reciebes two or more conflicting and contradictory messages.

26
Q

systamatic desensitization

A

a variation on conter conditioning that uses a gradual introduction to the fear evoking stimulus followed by relaxation.

27
Q

aversive therapy

A

removing some undesirable behavior by pairing the stimulus that evokes it. (the CS) with some noxious unpleasent (aversive) stimulus (UCS)
