Term
|
Definition
| The process of developing and strengthening a conditioned response through repeated pairings of an NS (or CS) with a US. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The phenomenon whereby the presence of an established CS interferes with conditioning of a new CS. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A complex stimulus that consists of the simultaneous presentation of 2 or more individual stimuli. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The sudden recovery of a response during an extinction procedure when a novel stimulus is introduced. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An experimentally produced disorder in which animals exposed to unpredictable events develop neurotic-like symptoms. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A decrease in the strength of the conditioned response due to the presentation of a novel stimulus at the same time as the conditioned stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process whereby a conditioned response can be weakened or eliminated when the CS is repeatedly presented in the absence of the US; also, the procedure whereby this happens, namely, the repeated presentation of the CS in the absence of the US. |
|
|
Term
| Higher-order Conditioning |
|
Definition
| The process whereby a neutral stimulus that is associated with a CS (rather than a US) also becomes a CS. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The phenomenon whereby a familiar stimulus is more difficult to condition as a CS than in an unfamiliar (novel) stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A procedure in which a stimulus (known as an occasion setter) signals that a CS is likely to be followed by the US with which it is associated. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The phenomenon whereby the most salient member of a compound stimulus is more readily conditioned as a CS and thereby interferes with conditioning of the least salient member, |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A situation in which an elicited response that appears to be a CR is actually the result of sensitization rather than conditioning. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The generalization of a conditioned response to verbal stimuli that are similar in meaning to the CS. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| In this phenomenon, when 1 stimulus conditioned as a CS, another stimulus with which it was previously associated can also become a CS. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The reappearance of a conditioned response to a CS following a rest period after extinction. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The tendency for a response to be elicited more by 1 stimulus than another. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The tendency for a CR to occur in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to the CS. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A form of classical conditioning in which the CS is the passage of time. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A process that involves the preconditioning presentation of the US at a different level of intensity, thereby altering the strength of response to the previously conditioned CS. |
