Question 1: Rescorla-Wagner theory

Answer:

A theory of classical conditioning that proposes that a given US can support only so much conditioning and that this amount of conditioning must be distributed among the various CSs available.

Question 2: systematic desensitization

Answer:

A behavioral treatment for phobias that involves pairing relaxation with a succession of stimuli that elicit increasing levels of fear.

Question 3: S-R (stimulus-response) model

Answer:

As applied to classical conditioning, this model assumes that the NS becomes directly associated with the UR and therefore comes to elicit the same response as the UR.

Question 4: overexpectation effect

Answer:

The decrease in the conditioned response that occurs when two separately conditioned CSs are combined into a compound stimulus for further pairings with the US.

Question 5: S-S (stimulus-stimulus) model

Answer:

A model of classical conditioning that assumes that the NS becomes directly associated with the US, and therefore comes to elicit a response that is related to that US.

Question 6: counterconditioning

Answer:

The procedure whereby a CS that elicits one type of response is associated with an event that elicits an incompatible response.

Question 7: preparedness

Answer:

An evolved predisposition to learn certain kinds of associations more easily than others.

Question 8: selective sensitization

Answer:

An increase in one's reactivity to a potentially fearful stimulus following exposure to an unrelated stressful event.

Question 9: compensatory-response model

Answer:

A model of conditioning in which a CS that has been repeatedly associated with the primary response (a-process) to a US will eventually come to elicit a compensatory response (b-process).

Question 10: reciprocal inhibition

Answer:

The process whereby certain responses are incompatible with each other, and the occurrence of one response necessarily inhibits the other.

Question 11: flooding therapy

Answer:

A behavioral treatment for phobias that involves prolonged exposure to a feared stimulus, thereby providing maximal opportunity for the conditioned fear response to be extinguished.

Question 12: incubation

Answer:

The strengthening of a conditioned fear response as a result of brief exposures to the aversive CS.

Question 13: temperament

Answer:

An individual's base level of emotionality and reactivity to stimulation that, to a large extent, is genetically determined.

Question 14: stimulus-substitution theory

Answer:

A theory of classical conditioning that proposes that the CS acts as a substitute for the US.

Question 15: preparatory-response theory

Answer:

A theory of classical conditioning that proposes that the purpose of the CR is to prepare the organism for the presentation of the US.

Question 16: aversion therapy

Answer:

A form of behavior therapy that attempts to reduce the attractiveness of a desired event by associating it with an aversive stimulus.
