Automatic elicitor an unconditioned stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response. Average babies babies that do not fit one of the other temperamental profiles (easy, difficult, or slow-to-warm-up) Conditioned elicitor a stimulus that has become conditioned to elicit a response. Difficult babies babies who are negative in mood, irregular or slow to adapt. Discriminant validity tests whether a measure assesses dimensions that are independent and non-overlapping. Easy babies babies who are positive in mood, regular in body functions, and adaptable. Emotion elicitors internal and external events that trigger biological changes that are the basis for emotion. Emotion receptors receptors in the brain that make it easier to register and encode emotion- relevant events. Emotion states changes in psychophysiological activity when emotional receptors are activates. Emotional contagion when one spontaneously resonates with another"s salient emotional expressions, most often observed in response to another"s distress. Emotional experience the interpretation and evaluation of perceived emotional states and expressions.
