Document Summary

Behavioral approach: looks at overt behavior (observable) and determines the antecedents and consequences. Learning: a relatively durable change in behavior that occurs as a result of practice. : - a response that is reflexive or automatic and not under. : - a stimulus that precedes and elicits (triggers) an. : - the response elicited by the unconditioned stimulus and is. : - any stimulus that is paired with the unconditional stimulus: classical conditioning. 3- and that eventually elicits a response that is identical to the unconditioned response. conditioned response (cr) Higher-order conditioning: - is when a well established cs, starts acting as though it were an us and is able to bring the cr under the control of cs2. Stimulus generalization: - is when a cr occurs in response to other stimuli that are similar to the original cs used in training. The greater the similarity, the more likely that generalization will occur.
