Learning- A systematic, relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience

Conditioning:

Classical Conditioning- learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response.

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) - A stimulus that produces a response without prior learning.

Unconditioned Response (UCR) - An unlearned reaction that is automatically elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus (CS) - A Previously neutral response that eventually elicits a conditioned response after being paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Response (CR) - The learned response to the conditioned Stimulus that occures after conditioned stimulus-unconditioned stimulus pairing.

Acquisition- The initial learning of the connection between the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus when these two stimuli are paired.

Generalization - The tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response.

Discrimination - The process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not others.

Extinction - The weakening of the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is absent.

Spontaneous Recovery - The Process in classical contioning by which a conditioned response can recur after a Time delay, without further conditioning.

Counter Conditioning - a
