Spontaneous Recovery
Once the CR STOPS it can be quickly reactivated by pairing the CS with the UCS again. / Spontaneous Recovery
Discrimination
The organism can distinguish (tell the difference between) two similar CSs’ / Discrimination
Generalization
The organism responds THE SAME to similar CSs’ / Generalization
