What is unconditioned response?
What is an automatic response to the stimulus?
100
What is conditioned stimulus?
What is a stimulus that causes a learned response?

What is classical conditioning?
What is a simple form of learning in which one stimulus calls forth a response normally generated by a different stimulus?
200
What is generalization?
What is the act of responding in the same ways to stimuli that seem to be similar?
200
What is systematic desensitization?
What is the use of relaxation techniques to help people overcome fears?
200
What is spontaneous recovery?
What is it when organisms display responses to stimuli that had been extinguished earlier?
200
What is taste aversion?
What is a learned avoidance of a particular food?
200
What is conditioned response?
What is a learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral?
300
What is discrimination?
What is the act of responding differently to stimuli that are not similar to each other?
300
What is flooding?
What is a conditioning method in which people with fears are expsed to harmless stimuli until fear responses are extinguished?
300
What is shaping?
What is a method of teaching complex behaviors in which one first reinforcers small steps?

What is stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior that they follow?
400
What are primary reinforcers?
What is stimuli such as food or warmth, that have reinfocement value without learning?
400
What are negative reinforcers?
What is unpleasant stimuli that increase the frequency of behavior when they are removed?
400
What is extinction?
What is the loss of stimulus's ability to bring about a conditioned response?
400
What is reinforcement?
What is the process by which a stimulus increases the chances that a behavior will occur again?
500
What is operant conditioning?
What is learning that is strengthened when behavior is followed by positive reinforcement?
500
What is chaining?
What is a method of learning in which each step of a sequence leads to another step until the final action is achieved?
500
What is continuous reinforcement?
What is the reinforcement of a desired response every time it occurs?
500
What are secondary reinforcers?
What are stimuli that increase the probability of a response because of their association with a primary reinforcer?
500
What is a schedule of reinforcement?
What is a timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occur?
