A type of learning in which an organism learns to connect or associate, stimuli.

Extinction: 

• The process through which a CS gradually loses ability to evoke CR, when it is no longer followed by UCS

  Spontaneous Recovery

• Reappearance of weakened CR to a CS after an interval of time following extinction.

  Stimulus Generalization: 

  • The tendency of stimuli similar to a CS to evoke a CR. The greater the similarity between two stimuli, the greater the likelihood of stimulus generation

    The process by which an organism learners to differentiate among stimuli, restricting its response to one in particular.
