An avoidance response is a behavior designed to prevent an unpleasant event from happening. It involves taking a specific action to avoid or prevent the aversive event or situation. This is different from an escape response, which involves taking action to remove oneself or end the aversive situation once it has already started. Primary responses refer to any initial response to a stimulus, while a classically conditioned response (CR) is a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus that has been paired with another stimulus to trigger the response.
