Conditioned stim.
formerly neutral stim. that gains power to cause response
Conditioned response
elicited by a previously neutral stim. that has become associated with unconditioned stim.
Unconditioned stim.
automatically provokes a reflective response without learning
Neutral stim.
produces a non-conditioned response prior to learning
Unconditioned response
resulting from an unconditioned stim. without prior learning
Classical conditioning theory
occurs when a previously neutral stimulus is linked to another natural stimulus + acquires power to elicit a constant + innate reflex
repetition = expect response
passive learning
Acquisition
Learning stage during which conditioned response comes to be elicited by conditioned stim.
