What is operant behavior?
Behavior that operates on the environment , producing a consequence
What is cognitive learning?
When we obtain information that helps guide behavior
What is classical conditioning?
The type of learning that links two stimuli together, ex: Pavlov’s dogs

What is a conditioned response?
A learned response from previous neutral, but now conditioned, stimuli
What is a conditioned stimulus?
An originally neutral stimulus, that is now associated with an unconditioned stimulus ex: Pavlov’s bell
What is acquisition?
The initial stage in classical conditioning, linking a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus
What is high order conditioning?
When a conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second, often weaker, conditioned stimulus
What is extinction? (In classical conditioning)
When a conditioned response fades away
What is a spontaneous recovery in CC?
The reappearance of a weakened conditioned stimulus after a pause
