Definitions:

Backward Conditioning

A conditioning process where a conditioned stimulus (CS) is presented after the unconditioned stimulus (US), often resulting in a weaker learned association.

Associative Linkage

Associative linkage refers to the process by which ideas and experiences become connected in the mind, forming a network of related concepts that can influence memory and perception.

Generalization

The process by which an organism responds similarly to different stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning.

Spontaneous Recovery

The reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of its extinction or reduction, without further conditioning.
