An example of an external stimulus is a painful prick (and any other stimulus that happens OUT side the organism ). The organism could respond by pulling away from the pain caused by the stimuli. An example of an internal stimulus is the feeling of hunger or thirst (or any other stimulus that happens IN side the organism). The organism could respond by eating or drinking. a behavior

what you are exposed to can alter your everyday behavior. for example. if you grow up in an abusive houehold environment 90% of the time your behavior would be abusive...if you grow up in a loving environment you tend to be loving
What a plant or animal does after receiving a stimulus is an example of a reaction. If the stimulus is unexpected, the reaction is an involuntary one.
Stimulus generalization is when the CS in the experiment is generalized onto other similar stimuli after the target behavior has been in place. For example, the conditioned behavior to fear white bunny rabbits may generalize onto the subject fearing white cotton balls and furry white house slippers.

The difference between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus is that an external stimulus is a stimulus that comes from outside an organism. But an internal stumulus is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism. An example for an external stimulus can be that when you are cold, you put on a jacket. An example for an internal stimulus is that when you feel hungry, you eat food.
An unconditioned behavior is a behavior that hasn't been conditioned to be meant as a response to a given stimulus. For example, if you put a pigeon in a box, it will simply walk in circles to try and find a way out. This is an unconditioned response, it's just going to do that behavior on it's own. However, if you rewarded the pigeon to turn in a circle when you give it a que (the stimulus), it will condition the pigeon to spin when given that que, thus conditioning the behavior.
A sign stimulus that functions as a signal that triggers a certain behavior in another member of the same species. An example would be mating calls or actions.
Basically, response to environment talks about your reaction to the stimulus that is found in the environment. A classic example would be on a very hot day outside, people tend to sweat a lot and thus to prevent dehydration, they increase their fluid intake.
