Answer 2

associations made between a natural stimulus and a learned, neutral stimulus

Question 3

Learning

Answer 3

permanent change in behavior that results from experience
• principle of classical conditioning

Question 4

Neutral Stimulus (NS)

Answer 4

a stimulus that does not initially elicit a response

Question 5

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCR)

Answer 5

an event that leads to a certain, predictable response without previous training

Question 6

Unconditioned Response (UCR)

Answer 6

reaction that occurs naturally/ automatically when the UCS is presented
basically: natural reaction to a stimulus

Question 7

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Answer 7

neutral event that, after training, leads to a response

Question 8

Conditioned Response (CR)

Answer 8

the learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus

Question 9

Extinction (not for dinosaurs)

Answer 9

when the conditioned response no longer elicit the conditioned response

Question 10

Spontaneous Recovery

Answer 10

after a conditioned response has been extinguished, the responses can briefly reappear when it reappears

Question 11

Stimulus Generalization

Answer 11

the tendency to respond to a similar conditioned stimuli

Question 12

Stimulus Discrimination

Answer 12

the ability to respond only to specific stimuli instead of similar stimuli

Question 13

Aversive Learning

Answer 13

conditioning an organism to have an aversive (dislike) response to conditioned stimulus

Question 14

Second-Order (Higher Order) Conditioning

Answer 14

Pavlov paired a bell with a flash of light. After a few pairings, the light alone would make the dog salivate

Question 16

Flooding

Answer 16

Question 17

Question 20

Variable Interval

Answer 20

reinforcement is provided after the first desired response after a varying amount of time has elapsed

Question 21

Continuous Reinforcement

Answer 21

rewarding the behavior each time it is correctly performed. It works best with new behaviors

Question 22

Partial Reinforcement

Answer 22

Once the behavior is learned, it is best to reinforce the behavior every once in a while (on a variable schedule)

Question 23
