Ucr: cr- conditioned response (a response that after conditioning follows a previously neutral stimulus, conditioned taste aversion: involving the learned association between a particular taste & nausea, habituation: decreased responsiveness to a stimulus after repeated presentations. Positive reinforcement- occurs when a response is based on the reoccurrence of good when you do something. Secondary reinforce- getting a paycheck for a job.
