- - - - Unconditioned Response: unlearned response to unconditioned stimulus that always occurs (salivation)
      - Acquisition: learning stage in which association is formed between neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus
      - Conditioned Stimulus: neutral stimulus that comes to evoke a conditioned (learned) response due to close proximity to unconditioned stimulus (bell)
      - Conditioned Response: learned response, similar to unconditioned response, that is elicited by conditioned stimulus (salivation)
      - Stimulus Generalization: tendency to respond to stimulus similar to conditioned stimulus (slightly lower bell)
      - Stimulus Discrimination: learned ability to distinguish between CS and other stimuli that do not signal US
      - Extinction: present CS without US and CR extinguishes
      - Spontaneous Recovery: after a period of time after extinction, if CS is presented again --> CR. Decreases each time.
      - Unconditioned Stimulus: stimulus that always triggers involuntary response in absence of any training (food)
    - - phobias have learned component
      - Watson and Rayner "Little Albert" --> fear of white rat/other fuzzy objects
      - phobias may be eliminated
    - - certain conditioned responses acquired very easily
      - ex. taste aversions
      - Garcia: biologically adaptive CS leads to conditioning while other stimuli do not (ie aversion to taste of food that made you sick but not appearance of restaurant)
      - duration between CS and US can be long (hours) but still lead to conditioning
    - - strength of CS-US association is determined by extent to which unconditioned stimulus is unexpected or surprising
