Temporal Conditioning

A form of conditioning in which the temporal interval between stimuli rather than an external stimulus is the predictive factor for the occurrence of a conditioned response.

Delayed Conditioning

A form of classical conditioning where there is a time gap between the presentation of the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.

Trace Conditioning

A form of classical conditioning where the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are presented separately with a time interval between them.
