A relatively simple, automatic response to a stimulus
Reflex
100
The reappearance of a habituated response to a stimulus following the presentation of another, seemingly irrelevant novel status.
Dishabituation
100
Any stimulus that has been associated with an unconditioned stimulus
Conditioned stimulus
100
What is the specific stimulus that elicits a fixed action pattern?
Sign stimulus or releaser
100
What type of habituation occurs when the response quickly decreases?
Short-term habituation
200
A defensive reaction to a sudden, unexpected, stimulus
Startle response
200
The enhanced sexual arousal displayed by the males of some species when presented with different sexual partners as opposed to the same sexual partner whom it has habituated
Coolidge effect
200
Conditioning procedure in which the neutral stimulus (NS) is associated with the presentation of an unconditioned stimulus (US)
Excitatory conditioning
200
Onset of the NS and onset of the US occur at the same time
Simultaneous conditioning
200
A stimulus that naturally elicits a response without any prior learning
Unconditioned stimulus
300
You touch something sharp and automatically jerk your hand away
Flexion response
300
A decrease in the strength of an elicited behavior following repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus
Habituation
300
What is the most common example used in psychology to explain Classical Conditioning?
Pavlov's dogs or pavlovian conditioning
300
What type of conditioning occurs when the US is presented first and the NS is presented later?
Backward conditioning
300
Conditioning procedure in which the US is an event that an organism approaches or seeks out
Appetitive conditioning
400
Fixed sequence of responses that are elicited by specific stimulus
Fixed action patterns
400
An increase in the strength of an elicited response following repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus
Sensitization
400
Any stimulus that has been associated with an unconditioned stimulus
Conditioned stimulus
400
Conditioning procedure in which the onset and offset of the NS precede the onset of the US
Trace conditioning
400
Conditioning procedure in which the onset of the NS precedes the onset of the US, and the two stimuli overlap
Delayed conditioning
500
A neural structure that underlies many reflexes and consists of a sensory neuron, an interneuron, and a motor neuron.
Reflex arc
500
What type of habituation occurs when the response slowly decreases as a result of repeated stimulation?
Long-term habituation
500
Conditioning procedure in which the NS is associated with the absence or removal of a US
Inhibitory conditioning
500
The automatic positioning of oneself to facilitate attending to a stimulus
Orienting response
500
Conditioning procedure in which the US is an event that an organism avoids
