Classical conditiong

learning in which a previously neutral stimulus comes to elicit a reflexive response that occurs as a result of the repeated association of two stimuli

• A stimulus that at first produces no relevant response
• Becomes conditioned stimulus

A stimulus that produces a naturally occur response or reflex

• The response that occurs naturally to the unconditioned stimulus.
• Once associated with the NS, becomes the CR

When the conditioned response is distinguished after repeated exposure to the conditioned stimulus without the association to the UCS

The reappearance of an extinct response after a rest period where the CS was not presented

When an organism responding to a stimulus that is similar to the CS

When the organism only produces the CR to the CS

• A form of treatment that uses classical conditioning to eliminate a fear
• The individual is exposed to increasing levels of fear provoking stimuli and paired with induced relaxation thus in the end, associating the fear stimulus to relaxation

Another treatment for fear but instead exposing the individual to extreme levels of the feared stimulus and associating it with relaxation techniques

An application of classical conditioning where an undesired behaviour is repeatedly associated with an unpleasant feeling thereby reducing the likelihood of repeating the unwanted behaviour
