Associate automatically conditioned, unconditioned, stimulus, response (classical) Generalization: response spreads/spread of response to similar stimuli (can be to something) rat to stuffed animals (both white and fluffy) Extinction: conditioned response fades over time-if there is no consequence/unconditioned stimulus stop response. Discrimination: difference to tell which stimuli is which/ ability to separate.
