Classical conditioning
A type of learning through which an organism learns to associate one stimulus with another. “ Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning”
Learning
A relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge , capability , or attitude that is acquired through experience and cannot be attribution to illness, injury, or maturation.
Stimulus
“Stimuli” is an event or object in the environment to which an organism responds
Who is Ivan Pavlov
Noble prize winner in 1904 , first time Russia received an honor, conducted classic experiments on the physiology of digestion .
Unconditioned response (ur)
A response that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus without prior learning .
Unconditioned stimulus (us)
A stimulus that elicits a specific unconditioned response without prior learning.
Conditioned response (cr)
The leArned response that comes to be elicited by a conditioned stimulus as a result of it’s repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus .
Conditioned stimulus (cs)
A neutral stimulus that, after repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, because associated with it and elicits a conditioned response.
Higher order conditioning
Conditions that occurs when conditioned stimuli are linked together to form a series of signals
Extinction
In classical conditioning , the weakening and eventually disappearance of the conditioned response as a result of repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.
Spontaneous recovery
The reappearance of an extinguished response (in a weaker form ) when an organism is exposed to the original conditioned stimulus following a rest period.
Generalization
In classical conditioning, the tendency to make a conditioned response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus .
Discrimination
The learned ability to distinguish between similar stimuli so that the conditioned response occurs only to the original conditioned stimulus but not to similar stimuli.
