Aquisition

Acquisition refers is some of the first stages of learning when a response is created or established. When concerned with classical conditioning, acquisition is the period of time when the stimulus reveals the conditioned response. In other words, acquisition is the initial stage of the learning or conditioning process. In this stage, some response is being associated with some stimulus to the point where one may say the organism has received the same response. During this stage the response is strengthened so that the topic is truly learned.
