What is the Neutral Stimulus?
When an averse condition is removed, it becomes this kind of reinforcement.

Who is Ivan Pavlov?
This happens when a conditioned response miraculiously reappears after extinction, when the CR is again present.
What is Spontaneous Recovery?
This effect allows people to tune out non-important stimuli, allowing us to reduce their effects on us over time.
What is Habituation?
What is the Conditioned Response?
What is Shaping?
His experiment with a Bobo doll now explains how violent TV effects children's behavior.

What is punishment?
John Garcia showed that how to condition taste with getting violently ill, producing this condition, as the subject refuses to eat the stimulus again.
What is Taste Aversion?

When Little Albert was scared of dogs, not just rats, he was experiencing this type of effect.
What is generalization?
