| Question | Answer |
| Neutral Stimulus (NS) | This is a stimulus which initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention. When used with an unconditional stimulus, it becomes a conditioned stimulus. |
| Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) | In classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus is one that naturally and automatically triggers a response. E.g. smelling your favourite food, makes you hungry. |
| Unconditioned Response (UCR) | This is the unlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus. E.g. the smell of food is the UCS, the feeling of hunger is the UCR to the smell of food. |
| Conditioned Stimulus (CS) | The CS is a previous NS that, after becoming associated with the UCS, eventually comes to trigger a CR. |
| Conditioned Response CR | An automatic response established by training to an ordinary neutral stimulus. |
| Extinction | The disappearance of a previously learned behaviour when the behaviour is not reinforced. |
| Spontaneous recovery | The reappearance of a conditioned response that had been extinguished. |
| Generalisation | The tendency to respond in the same way to different but similar stimuli. |
| Discrimination | The CR is only produced in response to the CS and not to similar stimuli. |
| Classical conditioning | A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired. |
| Operant conditioning | People learn to repeat actions which have previously felt good or are associated with feeling better. |
| Vicarious reinforcement | This is out tendency to repeat or duplicate behaviours for which others are being rewarded. |
