AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning is a form of learning whereby a conditioned stimulus (CS) becomes associated with an unrelated unconditioned stimulus (US) to produce a behavioral response known as a conditioned response (CR).

Detailed explanation-2: -Classical conditioning refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour. After the association is learned, the previously neutral stimulus is sufficient to produce the behaviour.

Detailed explanation-3: -An unconditioned stimulus causes a response without any prior learning on the part of the subject. The response is automatic and occurs without thought. In contrast, a conditioned stimulus produces a reaction only after the subject has learned to associate it with a given outcome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stimulus generalization is the evocation of a nonreinforced response to a stimulus that is very similar to an original conditioned stimulus. The stimulus generalization model presupposes identical elements that enable generalization to occur.
