Q

Habituation

A

A temporary reduction in a reflex response due to repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus

3
Q

Adaptation

A

A reduction in the frequency or magnitude of a response or a set of responses as a result of prolonged exposure to a stimulus or an environmental context

4
Q

Potentiation

A

A temporary increase in some dimension or intensity of a reflex response due to repeated presentations of an eliciting stimulus

5
Q

Sensitization

A

The tendency of a stimulus to elicit a reflex response follwing the elicitation of that response by a different stimulus

6
Q

Respondent Conditioning

A

A stimulus-stimulus pairing procedure in which a neutral stimulus is presented with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits the conditioned response.

7
Q

Short Delay Conditioning

A

The ONSET of the CS must come first, before the ONSET of the US; very effective

8
Q

Long Delay Conditioning

A

The ONSET of the CS must come first, before the ONSET of the US; usually effective

9
Q

Trace Conditioning Procedure

A

The OFFSET of the CS must come before the ONSET of the US; sometimes effective

10
Q

Simultaneous Conditioning Procedure

A

CS and US occur at the same time; usually not effective

11
Q

Backward Conditioning Procedure

A

The ONSET of the US must come before the ONSET of the CS; almost always ineffective.

12
Q

Higher-Order Conditoning

A

A neutral stimulus is paired with a previously conditoned stimulus (CS) rather than with a US.

13
Q

Respondent Extinction

A

The process through which a conditioned reflex is weakened by discontinuing to pair the CS with the US

14
Q

Respondent Stimulus Generalization

A

The spread of the effects of respondent conditioning to stimuli other than the conditioned stimulus.
