ivan pavlov
people learn primarily through these two things:
experiencing events and observing the relationships between the events
relatively permanent change in behavior acquired through experience
learning
quick relearning of a conditional response after extinction
reconditioning
after a conditional response is acquired, similar stimuli elicit a response, but to a lesser degree
stimulus generalization
learn to differentiate among similar stimuli
stimulus discrimination
exposed to harmless stimulus until fear response is extinguished
flooding
exposed gradually to stimulus but remain calm
systematic desensitization
