A stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response without previous conditioning. An unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus that occurs without previous conditioning. A previously neutral stimulus that has, through conditioning, acquired the capacity to evoke a conditioned response. A learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of previous conditioning. Consists of any presentation of a stimulus or pair of stimuli in classical conditioning. Changes in the liking of a stimulus that result from pairing that stimulus with other positive or negative stimuli. The initial stage of learning a new response tendency. The noveler, larger, or intense a stimulus the greater of a chance it has to become a cs. The gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency. Brought about by the repeated presentation of a conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.
