Document Summary

Blocking effect interference with the conditioning of a novel stimulus because of the presence of a previously conditioned stimulus. Comparator hypothesis idea that conditioned responding depends on a comparison between the associative strength of the conditioned stimulus (cs) and the associative strength of other cues present during training of the target cs. Conditioned compensatory-response conditioned response opposite in form to the reaction elicited by the us and that therefore compensates for this reaction. Conditioned diminution of the ur reduction in the magnitude of the response to an unconditioned stimulus caused by presentation of a cs that had been conditioned with that us. Cs pre-exposure effect interference with conditioning produced by repeated exposures to the cs before the conditioning trials. Drug tolerance reduction in the effectiveness of a drug as a result of repeated use of the drug. Higher-order conditioning procedure in which a previously conditioned stimulus (cs1) is used to condition a new stimulus (cs2)
