Definitions:

Neutral Stimulus

A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention, until it is paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Unconditioned Stimulus

In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus is anything that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any learning needed.

Stimulus Discrimination

The tendency to respond differently to two or more similar stimuli; in classical conditioning, it occurs when a stimulus similar to the CS fails to evoke the CR.

Stimulus Generalization

The tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the response has been conditioned.
