In Pavlov's experiment, this was the unconditioned stimulus
Food (meat powder to be precise)
You get dessert because you ate your veggies! This is:
When we miss seeing something because we aren't paying attention
Inattentional blindness
This brain wave indicates the deepest forms of NREM sleep
Delta waves
When more of a substance is needed to produce the same effect
Tolerance
In classical conditioning, a learned reaction is referred to as:
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
The process of learning future behaviors by watching others first
The name of the experiment demonstrating change blindness
Person swap experiment
This dream theory focuses on the similarity between daytime thinking and dream content

In Watson's Little Albert experiment, this was the conditioned stimulus.
The white rat
This schedule of reinforcement involves getting a reward EVERY time a behavior is performed
Continuous reinforcement
This part of the brain responds to light and impacts circadian rhythms
Superchiasmatic Nucleus
This dream theory assumes that dreams are a natural byproduct of nighttime brain activity
Activation-synthesis model
The type of sleep disorder involving disruption in quality or timing of sleep
Dyssomnias
When a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus, a human or animal may stop responding to it. This is called:
Extinction
The process of using operant conditioning to train complex behaviors in a step-by-step process
