| Learning | A relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience |
| Conditioning | a form of learning that emphasises the relationship between stimuli and responses |
| Stimulus | An event that produces a response from a organism |
| Response | A reaction by an organism to a stimulus |
| Classical Conditioning | A simple form of learning which occurs through the repeated association of two or more different stimuli |
| Unconditioned Stimulus | Any stimulus that consistently produces a naturally occuring automatic response |
| Unconditioned response | A response that occurs automatically when the uncondtioned stimulus is presented |
| Conditioned stimulus | The stimulus that is neutral at the start of the process and does not produce the UCR but through repeated association with the UCS, it triggers the same response as the UCS |
| Association | The pairing of one stimulus with another stimulus |
| Conditioned Response | The learned response that is elicited by the CS |
| Extinction | the gradual decrease in the strength or the rate of response that has been conditioned when the UCS is no longer presented |
| Spontaneous Recovery | the reappearance of a CR whern the CS is presented after a rest period |
| Stimulus Generalisation | the tendency for another similar stimulus to produce aresponse that is similar to the original CR |
| Stimulus Discrimination | When a person or animal responds to the conditioned stimulus only and not to any other similar stimulus |
| Conditioned Reflex | An automatic response that occurs as a result of previous experience |
| Conditioned Emotional Response | An emotional reaction that occurs when the ANS produces aresponse to a stimulus that previously did not trigger that response |
| Phobia | An intense,irrational and persistent fear of a specific object, activity or situation |
| Aversion Therapy | A form of behaviour therapy that applies CC principles to inhibit or discourage undesirable behaviour by associating it with an unpleasant stimulus such as a feeling of disgust, pain or nausea |
| Taste Aversion | A learned response in which a person or animal establishes an asociation between a particular food and being or feeling ill after a single experience of consumption |
| One Trial learning | A form of learning involving a change in behaviour that occurs with only one experience |
