Chapter 6 Psychology 175.102

A behaviour that is elicited automatically by an environmental stimulus.

Any enduring change in the way an organism responds based on its experience.

Something in the environment that elicits a response

Refers to the decreasing strength of a reflex response after repeated presentations of the stimulus

Conditions under which one thought becomes connected, or associated, with another

Proposes that two events will become connected in the mind if they are experienced close together in time

States that objects that resemble each other are likely to become associated

The first type of learning to be studied systematically. An environmental stimulus leads to a learned response, through pairing of the of an unconditioned stimulus the previously neutral conditioned stimulus. Ivan Pavlov

A form of learning

A reflex that occurs naturally, without prior learning

The stimulus that produces a response in an unconditioned reflex.

A response does not have to be learned.

The response that has to be learned

A stimulus that, through learning, has come to evoke a conditioned response.

The stage of learning in which the condition response becomes associated with the conditioned stimulus.

Okay when formally neutral stimulus is paired with a stimulus that evokes an emotional response.

Irrational fears of specific objects or situations

The system of cells throughout the body that fights disease

When an organism responds to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus with a similar response.

The learned tendency to respond to a restricted range of stimuli or only to the stimulus used during training.

In classical conditioning extinction refers to the process by which the conditioned response is weakened by presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.

The re-emergence of a previously extinguished conditioned response.

The time between presentation of the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus

Learning to operate on the environment to produce a consequence.
