Document Summary

Unconditioned stimulus (us): food in dog"s mouth: event/thing that elicits an automatic/involuntary response. Unconditioned response (ur): salivation: response that is automatically produced. Conditioned response (cr): response that is elicited by a conditioned stimulus (occurs after conditioned stimulus associated with unconditional stimulus) Classical conditioning (cc): process where neutral stimulus acquires capacity to elicit response through association with stimulus that already elicits similar or related response, also called, pavlovian or respondent conditioning. If the conditional response is repeatedly presented w/o unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response eventually disappears and extinction (loss of learned response) occurs. Spontaneous recovery: the reappearance of a learned response: higher-order conditioning after its apparent extinction. When a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus by being paired with an already establish conditioned stimulus. May lead to the formation of prejudices due to association of labels and certain things: stimulus generalization and discrimination. Stimulus generalization: after stimulus becomes conditioned stimulus for some response, other similar stimuli may produce a similar reaction.
