Term
UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS
Definition
stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning.
Term
CONDITIONED STIMULUS
Definition
neutral stimulus that will produce a conditioned response when paired with UCS.
Term
REFLEX
Definition
involuntary response to a particular stimulus. (eye blink, salivation). conditioned (learned), unconditioned (unlearned).
Term
UNCONDITIONED RESPONSE
Definition
a response that is elicited by an UCS.
Term
CONDITIONED RESPONSE
Definition
learned response that comes to be elicited by a CS as a result of its repeated pairing with a UCS.
Term
EXTINCTION
Definition
weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response as a result of repeated presentation of the CS without the UCS.
Term
SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY
Definition
reappearance of an extinguished response in a weaker form where an organism is exposed to the CS after a rest period.
Term
GENERALIZATION
Definition
tendency to make a conditioned response to stimulus similar to the original CS.
Term
OPERANT CONDITIONING
Definition
B.F. Skinner. relationship between behavior and consequences of that behavior. ABC=antecedent, behavior, consequences.

REINFORCER
Definition
anything that strengthens or increases the probability of behavior that follows.
