Chapter 3

• Habituation: Decreasing the strengths of behaviour by repeating the stimulus
• Sensitization: Increase in strength of a behavior following repeated presentation of stimulus
• Short-term habituation: quickly decreasing response to a stimulus after a brief period of time
• Long-term habituation: slowly decreases to a stimulus after a long period of time
• Short-term Sensitization: occurs when stimulus presented are spaced narrowly apart.
• Long-term Sensitization: occurs when stimulus presented are spaced far apart.
• Reflex: a automatic response to a stimulus
• Conditioned Stimulus: (CS) initially neutral, elicits response because it has been paired with an Unconditioned stimulus
• Conditioned response (CR): often similar to the Unconditioned Response, happens due to the Conditioned stimulus
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US): stimulus that naturally elicits an unlearned responce
• Unconditioned response (UR): Unlearned response that is naturally elicited by the Unconditioned stimulus
• Suppression ratio: # of CS / # of CS + # pre-CS
• Pseudoconditioning: exciting reaction not a learned reaction
• Conditioned Stimulus: distinctive, external stimulus
• Temporal Conditioning: the NS/CS passage of time
• Excitatory Conditioning: NS associated with presentation of US becoming a CS
• Inhibitory Conditioning: NS associated with the removal of US becomes CS
• Delayed Conditioning: The NS is started before the US and ended when the US is introduced
• Trace Conditioning: the NS is shown first and ended, then the US is shown
• Simultaneous Conditioning: The NS and the US are both presented at the same time
• Backwards conditioning: The US is presented first, followed by the NS
