Acquisition refers to the learning of a skill or information that leads to a change in behavior.

Generalization refers to reacting or behavior in the same manner as one does to the stimulus they usually elicit this response.

Discrimination refers to differentiating between various stimuli that seem similar.

Extinction refers to the weakening or disappearance of a response after it is not reinforced or when the conditioned stimulus is not paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

Spontaneous recovery refers to the reoccurrence of the conditioned response after some time has elapsed between the elicitation of the response and pairing of the conditioned and unconditioned response.
