VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND COMPLETE
ANSWERS
◉ Classical Conditioning. Answer: A type of learning in which one
learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events.
◉ Operant Conditioning. Answer: We learn to associate a response
(our behavior) and its consequence.
◉ Ivan Pavlov. Answer: Discovered classical conditioning; trained
dogs to salivate at the ringing of a bell.
◉ Unconditioned Stimulus. Answer: A stimulus that naturally
(without conditioning) elicits some response
◉ Unconditioned Response. Answer: Naturally occurring response
to the unconditioned stimulus.
◉ Neutral Stimulus. Answer: In classical conditioning, a stimulus
that elicits no response before conditioning.
, ◉ Conditioned Stimulus. Answer: A cue that is paired with an
unconditioned stimulus and comes to elicit a conditioned response.
◉ Conditioned Response. Answer: A trained response to a
conditioned stimulus.
◉ Acquisition. Answer: -Initial learning stage, when one links a
neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus.
-A neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response.
◉ Exctinction. Answer: -Diminishing of a conditioned response.
-Occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus
(US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS).
◉ Spontaneous Recovery. Answer: Reappearance, after a pause, of
an extinguished conditioned response.
◉ Discrimination. Answer: Learned ability to distinguish between a
conditioned stimulus (which predicts the US) and other irrelevant
stimuli.
◉ Thorndike. Answer: Instrumental learning: cats; law of effect
