Unconditioned response (UR)

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Unconditioned stimulus (US)

Unconditioned response (UR)

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Stimulus Generalization

Discrimination

Extinction

Spontaneous Recovery

Is the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that have not been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Stimulus Generalization

Discrimination

Extinction

Spontaneous Recovery

Is when the occurrences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In classical conditioning, this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Stimulus Generalization

Discrimination

Extinction

Spontaneous Recovery

Is the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response. If the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are no longer associated, extinction will occur very rapidly after a spontaneous recovery.

Stimulus Generalization

Discrimination

Extinction

Spontaneous Recovery

Responses which are followed by satisfying aftereffects tend to learned and repeated.
