The events may be two stimuli(as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning) Any event or situation that evokes a response. Behaviour that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus. Operant behavior behaviour that operates on the environment, producing consequences. The acquisition of mental information, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language. A type of learning which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not (2) In classical conditioning, a stimulus that that elicits no response before conditioning. In classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response (such as salivation) to an unconditional stimulus (us) (such as food in the mouth) In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally- naturally and automatically- triggers an unconditioned response (ur)
