Classical conditioning = Pavlovian Conditioning - this is because it was stumbled upon by Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist studying the role of saliva in digestion in dogs. Ain't serendipity grand?

• is a stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response without previous conditioning
• a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response in the absence of learning
• a stimulus in classical conditioning that elicits an unlearned response

• an unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus that occurs without previous conditioning
• reflexive response elicited by a stimulus in the absence of learning
• an unlearned response to a stimulus

• A previously neutral stimulus that has, through conditioning, acquired the capacity to evoke a conditioned response
• An initially neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a conditioned response after being associated with an UCS
• The previously neutral stimulus that is associated with the UCS

• A learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of previous conditioning
• A response that is elicited by a CS; it occurs after the CS is associated with the UCS
• The response that is elicited by the CS

• Drawn forth

• Refers to the initial stage of learning something
• The process of learning a new response

• The gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency
• The weakening & eventual disappearance of a learned response; in classical conditioning, it occurs when the CS is no longer paired with the UCS
• What happens when a CS loses its ability to elicit a CR

• The reappearance of an extinguished response after a period of non-exposure to the conditioned stimulus
• The reappearance of a learned response after its apparent extinction
• When time has passed after extinction - & the CS is presented once more - the CR may reappear

• Occurs when an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus does not respond in the same way to new stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus
• The tendency to respond differently to two or more similar stimuli; in classical conditioning, it occurs when a stimulus similar to the CS fails to evoke the CR
• The process of differentiating between similar stimuli

• Occurs when an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus responds in the same way to new stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus
• After conditioning, the tendency to respond to a stimulus that resembles one involves in the original conditioning; in classical conditioning, it occurs when a stimulus that resembles the CS elicits the CR
• Learning a response to one particular stimulus that is shown to other, similar stimuli

• In classical conditioning, a procedure in which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through association with an already established conditioned stimulus.
• A CS functions as if it were an unconditioned stimulus
