What is a response class?
Stimuli that share common physical features or functions.
What is a stimulus class?
Learning process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response.
What is respondent conditioning?

What is a variable ratio schedule?
A response that is similar in form but may serve different functions.
What is a topographical response class?
A group of stimuli that evoke the same response due to shared meaning or function.
What is a functional stimulus class?
The process by which a conditioned response is diminished or eliminated through repeated exposure without the unconditioned stimulus.

Stimuli that vary in form but have the same effect on behavior.
What is a generalized stimulus class?
