| Chunking | Mental process for organizing information into meaningful units. |
| Classical Conditioning | Type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit an unconditioned response. |
| Conditioning | Learning. |
| Decay | the fading away of memory |
| Discrimination | the ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar. |
| Elaborative Rehearsal | Memory device that creates a meaningful link between new information and the information already known. |
| Encoding | The translation of information into a form that can be stored in memory. |
| Extinction | The disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus. |
| Generalization | The tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics. |
| Interference | The process that occurs when new information appears in short-term memory and replaces what was already there. |
| Maintenance Rehearsal | The repetition of new information in an attempt to keep from forgetting it. |
| Memory | the process by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. |
| Recall | Retrieval of learned information. |
| Recognition | Memory process in which one identifies objects or events that have previously been encountered. |
| Reinforcement | a stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the frequency of that response. |
| Relearning | Learning material a second time, usually in less time than it was originally learned. |
| Repression | The defense mechanism that removes anxiety-causing thoughts, feelings, and memories from one's consciousness. |
| Response | An observable reaction to a stimulus. |
| Retrieval | The process of recalling information from memory storage. |
| Schemas | Ideas or mental framework that helps one organize and interpret information. |
| Shaping | A procedure in which reinforcement guides behavior toward closer approximations of the desired goal. |
| Stimulus | A feature in the environment that is detected by an organism or that leads to a change in behavior. |
| Storage | The maintenance of encoded information over time. |
