in classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a particular conditioned response after being paired with a particular unconditioned stimulus that already elicits that response. 237
the stimulus that is the occasion for a conditioned response
A new stimulus coupled to a familiar or unconditioned stimulus, so that an animal associates the two. 815
An initially neutral stimulus that will elicit a specific response as a result of repeated pairing or learned association between that stimulus and that response. A discriminative stimulus (SD), or cue is a conditioned stimulus.
A signal that will elicit a specific response as a result of a learned association between that stimulus and that response.
A situation in which one signal, or stimulus, is given just before another signal. After this happens several times, the first signal alone can cause the response that would usually need the second signal.
In classical conditioning, the stimulus which comes to elicit a new response by virtue of pairings with the unconditioned stimulus. See also conditioned response (CR), unconditioned response (UR), unconditioned stimulus (US).
Respondent behavior that occurs when a person learns to respond to a new stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response
Neutral stimulus that begins to elicit a response similar to the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) with which it has been paired.
In classical conditioning, a stimulus previously neutral that comes to elicit a conditioned response through association with an unconditioned stimulus. See also conditioned response, unconditioned response, unconditioned stimulus.
