What is "classical conditioning"? | A process by which behaviors are learned through associations |
What is US? | Unconditioned stimulus; any stimulus that naturally causes an automatic reaction |
What is UR? | Unconditioned response; any unlearned response to a stimulus |
What is NS? | Neutral stimulus; any stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response |
What is CS? | Conditioned stimulus; any stimulus that will, after association with a UScause a conditioned response (CR) when present |
What is CR? | Conditioned response; reflexice likearned response to a neutral stimulus |
US = ? | US = UR |
What is "extinction"? | Conditioned response (CR) is weakened by presenting the conditioned stimulus (CS) with the Unconditioned stimulus (US) EX: Pavlov rang the bell, but did not present the food, and the dog stopped salivating |
What is "spontaneous recovery"? | Conditioned response (CR) recurs after a time delay and without additional learning EX: When Pavlov rang the bell the next day, the dog salivated |
What is "stimulus generalization"? | Often occurs, causing the classically-conditioned reaction to occur to similar stimuli The more similar the new stimulus is to the conditioned stimulus (CS), the more intense the response |
Identify Pavlov's experiment with the dog. | Food --> Salivation (US) (UR) Food paired with a Bell --> Salivation (US+NS) (UR) The Bell becomes associated with food, until finally Bell --> Salivation (CS) (CR) |
Identify Watson's "Little Albert" study. |
