Document Summary

Learning: classical conditioning > a type of learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus elicits a reflexive response caused by another stimulus that already produced that response. Acquisition between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. > the gradual formation of learning where a response is established. > a process in which the conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus (when the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus no longer occur together => no learning) > a process in which a previously extinguished response re-emerges following presentation of the conditioned stimulus (the reoccurrence of a conditioned response after it has become extinct) Stimulus generalization to the conditioned stimulus produce the conditioned response (when a response that occurs to one specific stimulus occurs to another similar stimulus) > occurs when a stimuli that are similar but not identical.
