Generalization
When a stimulus similar to the conditioned stimulus (CS – higher pitched bell) also elicits conditioned response (CR – salivation), even if it has never been paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS – food)
Extinction
The decline & eventual disappearance of the conditioned response (CR – salivation); occurs by repeatedly presenting the conditioned stimulus (CS – bell) in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus (UCS – food)
Weakening or breaking the association
Weakening or breaking the association
Spontaneous Recovery
