Classical conditioning: a synonym for pavlovian conditioning; the procedure of pairing a neutral stimulus with a us. Compensatory response theory: a variation of preparatory response theory that suggests the. Cr prepares the organism for the us by compensating for its effects. Compound stimulus: two or more stimuli presented simultaneously, often as a cs. Conditional reflex: a reflex acquired through pavlovian conditioning and consisting of a cs and a cr.
