Document Summary
Habituation = decline in and organism"s response to a stimulus once the stimulus has become familiar. Dishabituation = increase in responding caused by a change in something familiar. I. e. living by busy room used to noise. Unconditioned response = biological reflex elicited by an unconditioned stimulus prior to training. Contingency = many other stimuli are taking place at the same time as the cs; Cr occurs when the cs informs of the thing to come. Classical conditioning = form of learning in which one stimulus is paired with another so that the organism learns a relationship between the stimuli. Second-order conditioning = neutral stimulus is paired with an already established conditioned stimulus. Stimulus generalization similar stimuli elicit a reaction similar to the learned response. Stimulus discrimination responding differently to stimuli that have been associated with a us and stimuli that are associated with a cr. Learning = the development of new skills and acquisition of new knowledge.
