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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
