- 1LearningThe process of acquiring, through experience, new and enduring information and behaviors.
- 2Associative LearningLearning that certain events occur together; either two stimuli (classical conditioning) or a response and its consequence (operant conditioning).
- 3StimulusAny event or situation that evokes a response.
- 4Respondent BehaviorBehavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus.
- 5Operant BehaviorBehavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences.
- 6Cognitive LearningThe acquisition of mental information, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language.
- 7Classical ConditioningA type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events.
- 8BehaviorismThe view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes; most psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2).
- 9Neutral Stimulus [NS]In classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.
- 10Unconditioned Response [UR]In classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response (such as salivation) to an unconditioned stimulus [US] (like food in the mouth).
- 11Unconditioned Stimulus [US]In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally - naturally and automatically - triggers an unconditioned response [UR].
- 12Conditioned Response [CR]In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus..
- 13Conditioned Stimulus [CS]In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus [US], comes to trigger a conditioned response [CR].
- 14Acquisitionin classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus [NS] and an unconditioned stimulus [US] so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response [CR]. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response.
- 15ExtinctionThe diminishing of a conditioned response [CR]; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus [US] does not follow a conditioned stimulus [CS]; occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
- 16Spontaneous RecoveryThe reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response [CR].
- 17GeneralizationThe tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus [CR] to elicit similar responses.
