Draggable item		Corresponding Item
extinction		the act of responding differently to stimuli that are not similar to each other
generalization		a type of learning that involves stimulus-response connections
discrimination		the act of responding in the same ways to stimuli that seem to be similar

Classical conditioning is useful to animals and people because it helps them

adapt to their environment. b) deal with dangerous situations. c) avoid poisonous foods

both a and b

A conditioned response may be extinguished when

similar stimuli cause the same response.

a conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned stimulus.

both a and b

Classical conditioning can be applied to help overcome fears using the method of

flooding. 

counterconditioning

both a and b

Through operant conditioning, people learn to control

voluntary responses. 

involuntary biological behaviors. 

unconditioned responses

The process by which a stimulus increases the chances of a preceding behavior occurring again is called

reinforcement. 

extinction. 

systematic desensitization

classical conditioning. 

shaping. 

latent learning.

B. F. Skinner designed a device called a "teaching machine" for an educational method known as

counterconditioning. 

systematic desensitization. 

programmed learning
