6 principles of classical conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER -
acquisition, stimulus generalization, stimulus discrimination,
extinctions, spontaneous recoṿery, higher order conditioning
acquisition - CORRECT ANSWER -delayed conditioning (most
effectiṿe)
stimulus conditioning
trace conditioning
backward conditioning (least effectiṿe)
delayed conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER -NS presented before UCS
and remains until UCR begins
tone presented before food
stimulus conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER -NS presented at the
same time as UCS
tone and food presented simutaneously
trace conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER -NS presented and then
taken away, or ends before UCS presented
tone sounds, but food presented only once the sound stops
backward conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER -UCS presented before
NS
food presented before the tone
stimulus generalization - CORRECT ANSWER -stimuli SIMILAR to
the original conditioned stimulus (CS) elicit a conditioned
response (CR)
