Learning:
Acquiring the ability to respond adequately to a situation. The modification of behavior through experience, involving rather lasting changes.
Reflex:
Relatively simple, unlearned, involuntary response to a stimulus.
Unconditioned Response (UCR):
Response that occurs normally, with no learning necessary.
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS):
Original stimulus that elicits the desired response before the conditioning process begins.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS):
New stimulus, in a conditioning process, that was originally ineffective in eliciting a given response but has become capable of doing so.
Conditioned Response (CR):
New or acquired response elicited by a stimulus not originally has become capable of doing so.
Classical Conditioning:
Repeated pairing of an unconditioned stimulus, which originally elicited a given response, with another stimulus until this conditioned stimulus elicits the given response.
Counter Conditioning:
Replacing one conditioned response to a stimulus with another response. The process is often used to get rid of undesirable behavior.
Avoidance Conditioning Extinction:
Process of learning to avoid some unpleasant stimulus, such as learning not to place your hand on a hot stove.
Spontaneous Recovery:
Reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of rest following extinction but without further reinforcement.
Reinforcement:
Presentation of the unconditioned stimulus immediately following the conditioned stimulus, such as giving an animal an electric shock immediately following the sounding of the bell. In operant or instrumental conditioning, the strengthening of a response when it leads to satisfaction, typically a reward of some kind. Reinforcement is said to be positive if its presentation strengthens a response and negative if its removal strengthens a response.
Intermittent Reinforcement:
Rewarding some, but not all, correct responses.
Generalization:
In

    In my client’s case the unconditioned stimulus was paying bills with the family as a child. Money was tight in his family and the lack of money caused many arguments. The arguments resulted in very stressful situations that my client wanted to avoid. To put this in terms of classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus was the lack of money. The unconditioned response was an argument that caused stress that my client tried to avoid. Since the arguments over money happened primarily when it was time to pay bills the…

    3. Responses are acquired—that is, initially learned—best when the CS is presented half a second before the US. This finding demonstrates how classical conditioning is biologically adaptive because it helps organisms prepare for good or bad events. 
Higher order conditioning occurs when the conditioned stimulus from one conditioning procedure is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second, often weaker, conditioned stimulus. 
Extinction refers to the diminishing of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus occurs repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus. Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished…

    Classical conditioning involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus (such as the sound of a bell) with an unconditioned stimulus (the taste of food). This unconditioned stimulus naturally and automatically triggers salivating as a response to the food, which is known as the unconditioned response. After associating the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus, the sound of the bell alone will start to evoke salivating as a response. The sound of the bell is now known as the conditioned stimulus and salivating in response to the bell is known as the conditioned response. Operant conditioning focuses on using either rewards or punishment to strengthen or reduce a behavior. Through this process, an association is formed between the behavior and the consequences for that behavior. Classical conditioning involves making an association between an involuntary response and a stimulus, while operant conditioning is about making an association between a voluntary…

    The idea of classical condition is one of the most notable learning techniques because it involves a stimulus rewarded for a certain response. Naturally, animals and human have unconditioned stimulus that triggers an unconditioned response. The most common connection is the correlation between food and salivation. Food naturally draws organism to it in order to satisfy a drive created by hunger to acquire homeostasis. A response is created because of the organism’s reaction to food, which is usually salivation. Classical conditioning is considered an effective way to train an organism to learn habits not naturally associated with certain unconditioned stimulus. This creates a conditioned stimulus. The once unconditioned response is now conditioned to respond to the conditioned stimulus, which is called a conditioned stimulus. An example of conditioned stimulus and response is the example of associating the school bell with food. Children are hungry by nature, but when the school bell is added, the children are reinforced to associate the school bell with lunchtime. Classical…

    These include acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery and generalisation. For classical conditioning to take place, it is necessary to have many pairings of the unconditional stimulus (UCS) and the conditional stimulus (CS). The phase when this connection is made and grows stronger is known as acquisition. An example of this can perhaps be seen with spiders. If bitten by a poisonous spider it is certain to elicit feelings of pain and fear. Many spiders on the other hand are completely harmless but because of the association made between the spiders bite and the feelings of pain and fear people may grow to fear even common daddy-long legs. This is an example of classical conditioning. The bite is known as the UCS and the pain it elicits is the unconditional response (UCR). The spider is a neutral stimulus (NS) but through association it becomes paired with the UCS and it then becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) which can now elicit the same feelings of fear as the UCS did, known as the conditional response (CR). Stimuli that bear a resemblance to the CS may also begin to elicit the CR through association. This is known as generalisation. However, although the conditioned response to the stimulus is still present the response elicited is not as strong as with the original, conditioned…

    Learning is an unwavering change in an individual because of an experience or set of experiences (Ricker, 2013). Learning can be achieved in a variety of approaches, classical, and operant conditioning as well as positive reinforcement. The classical and operant conditioning methods were derived by B. F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov. Kowalski and Westen (2011) noted, “Classical conditioning as learning in which an environmental stimulus produces a response in an organism” (p. 164). Operant conditioning is “learning that results when an individual associates a response that occurs spontaneously with a particular environmental effect” (Kowalski…
