stimulus predicts a certain event and we respond accordingly

Question 3

Question 6

conditioned response (CR)

Answer 6

learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of previous conditioning (salvation)

Question 7

acquisition phase

Answer 7

the CS will acquire the ability to elicit a CR

Question 8

extinction

Answer 8

CS will gradually lose its ability to elicit a CR if the UCR is not presented

Question 9

spontaneous recovery

Answer 9

break after extinction a CR will be shown upon another presentation

Question 10

operant conditioning

Answer 10

goal orientated behaviour that occur as a result of the consequences of the behaviour

Question 11

reinforcement

if consequences follow behaviour is favourable = tendency to to repeat is strengthened

Answer 13
