Description

A form of sign tracking in which a keylight that is paired with food elicits pecking in the pigeon. It has become a popular method for studying classical conditioning.
The finding that little or no conditioning occurs to a new stimulus if it is combined with a previously conditioned stimulus during conditioning trials.
The response that is elicited by the conditional stimulus after classical conditioning has taken place.
An initially neutral stimulus (like a bell, light, or tone) that begins to elicit a conditional response after it has been paired with an unconditional stimulus.
The “if-then” relationship between two events.
______ conditioning. A classical conditioning procedure in which the conditional stimulus commences on its own and then terminates with presentation of the unconditional stimulus.
In classical conditioning, the potential of a conditional stimulus to signal an unconditional stimulus or elicit a conditional response.
A procedure in which a conditional stimulus is presented alone and the unconditional stimulus is presented at another time.
The transfer of a learned response from one stimulus to a similar stimulus.
Movement toward the site where a positive unconditional stimulus will be delivered during presentation of a conditional stimulus that signals the US.
In classical conditioning, the capacity of a conditional stimulus to signal a decrease in the probability of the unconditional stimulus. Generally, an active process that suppresses excitation or reduces the strength of a response.
Inhibition of ______. Inhibition that develops to the early portion of a conditional stimulus in a delay conditioning procedure. The early part of a conditional stimulus signals a period without the unconditional stimulus.
The period of time between two successive trials.
_____ Inhibition. Interference with conditioning that is produced by repeated exposures to the conditional stimulus before conditioning begins.
Conditioning trials separated by a short intertrial interval.
_______ Contingency. A situation where the probability of one event is lower if another event has occurred.
The finding that there is less conditioning to a weak conditional stimulus if it is combined with a more salient conditional stimulus during conditioning trials.
_______ Contingency. A situation where the probability of one event is higher if another event has occurred.
______ -of-aquisition test. A test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibitor if it is slower than a comparison stimulus to acquire excitation when it is paired with an unconditional stimulus.
_____ conditioning. A classical conditioning procedure in which a conditional response is acquired by a neutral stimulus when the latter is paired with a stimulus that has previously been conditioned.
An increase in the strength of an elicited behavior that results merely from repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus.
______ conditioning. A procedure in which the conditional stimulus and unconditional stimulus are presented at the same time.
A test procedure in which conditional stimuli that are conditioned separately are then combined in a compound.
______ conditioning. A classical conditioning procedure in which the unconditional stimulus is presented after the conditional stimulus has been terminated.
Unconditional ________. An innate response that is elicited by a stimulus in the absence of conditioning.
Unconditional _____. The stimulus that elicits the response before conditioning occurs.
Interference with conditioning that is produced by repeated exposures to the unconditional stimulus before conditioning begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword?

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.
