| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| backward conditioning | in classical conditioning, the presentation of the US before the CS |
| classical conditioning | the process of pairing a neutral conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus |
| conditioned response | the response newly acquired by the conditioned stimulus as a result of classical conditioning |
| conditioned stimulus | a previously neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a new response through pairing it with an unconditioned stimulus during classical conditioning |
| configural learning | in classical conditioning, the idea that an individual may learn to treat two CSs as a combined, single complex stimulus pattern |
| contiguity | how close together two or more stimuli occur in time and space |
| contingency | a dependency or "if-then" relationship, the occurrence of the contingent stimulus depends on the occurrence of the previous event |
| counterconditioning | classically conditioning a subject by pairing a previously conditioned CS with a US that generates a response the opposite of that generated by the original US |
| delayed conditioning | in classical conditioning, the timing procedure in which the CS occurs before, but overlaps in time with, the US |
| dependent variables | the things being influenced in an experiment; in psychology, some measure of responding |
| extinction | the elimination of a classical or operant contingency |
| higher-order conditioning | using a previously trained CS as if it were a US in another classical conditioning procedure |
| independent variables | the elements that may be changed in an experiment that influence or cause changes in other (dependent variable) elements |
| interstimulus interval | the time interval between start of the CS and start of the US in classical conditioning |
| latency | the time interval between a stimulus and a response |
| salience | the fact that some stimuli seem to be more easily noticed than others |
| simultaneous conditioning | in classical conditioning, presenting the CS and the US beginning at exactly the same time |
| systematic desensitization | Wolpe's procedure for eliminating phobias through a combination of extinction, relaxation, and generalization procedures |
| trace conditioning | in classical conditioning, the procedure of starting and stopping the CS before the US starts, so that the learner must have a memory trace of the CS to associate with the US |
| unconditioned response | the innate or naturally occurring response to a strong stimulus (the US) in classical conditioning |
| unconditioned stimulus | a stimulus that reliably (always) causes a particular response |
