Yes true
Famous RUSSIAN physiologist
Ivan pavlov
A kind of learning in which in previously neutral stimulus comes to illicit a response through its association with a stimulus that naturally brings about the response.
Classical conditioning
Classical conditioning involves the interplay between three elements:

-The unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
-The unconditioned response (UCR)
-The condition stimulus (CS)
-The condition response (CR)
Is the one that unconditionally, naturally and automatically triggers a response
The unconditioned stimulus
Is the unlearned response that occurs naturally in response to the unconditioned response
The unconditioned response
The previously neutral stimulus that active becoming associate with the unconditioned stimulus eventually comes to trigger condition response
The condition stimulus
Is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus
The conditioned response
It is a technique based on respondent conditioning that is used by psychologist to reduce fear and anxiety in their clients
Systematic desensitization
It is the tendency of initial learning experiences to be easily applied to other similar stimuli
Stimulus generalization
It is useful respondent conditioning concept that needs to be given careful consideration in relapse prevention program
Stimulus recovery
He invented the skinner box associated with operant conditioning
Bf skinner
Behavior is followed by a consequence and the nature of the consequence modifies the organisms tendency to repeat the behavior in the future
Operant conditioning
Any sequence of behavior that leads to an increase in the probability of its occurrence
Positive reinforcement
A negative consequence that leads to a reduction in the frequency of the behavior that produced it
Punishment/negative reinforcement
What are the ways of employing positive reinforcement
-Verbal ways
-Nonverbal ways
-Citing in class or publishing on the bulletin board exceptional works or outputs
