Classical Conditioning

A learning process that involves creating associations between a naturally occurring stimulus and a previously neutral stimulus.

Neutral Stimulus

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

Extinction

The gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus, evokes a conditioned response.
