Term
|
Definition
| Behavior relations that are based on events that occur over the lifetime of the individual |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an effect that occurs when a compound stimulus is used as the CS in a respondent conditioning experiment and one element of the compound is more salient than the other; when tested separately, only the more salient element will elicit the CR |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Behavior relations that are based on the genetic endowment of an individual, based on species history |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
Term
| Primary laws of the reflex |
|
Definition
| laws that govern US-UR relationships; include the law of the threshold, the law of intensity–magnitude, and the law of latency. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a behavioral sequence elicited by a sign stimulus or releaser that is phylogenetic in origin, relatively invariant within the species, and unlike FAPs/MAPS, each response in a reaction chain requires an appropriate stimulus to set it off |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the term for the relationship between an unconditioned stimulus (US) and the unconditioned response (UR) it elicits |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a stimulus that has evolved to facilitate communication between animals of the same species and elicits FAPs/MAPs |

|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavior that is reliably elicited by a stimulus; an unconditioned or conditioned response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| pairing a neutral stimulus (NS) with stimulus that elicits a respondent so that the NS becomes a CS and elicits a CR |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When a contingency between a stimulus that already reliably elicits a response and some other stimulus results in the other stimulus reliably eliciting some new response |
