| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| sensory preconditioning procedure | phase I: group 1 gets A-->B, group 2 gets nothing phase II: both get B+ |
| sensory preconditioning results | group 1: conditioned response to CS group 2: no conditioned response to CS |
| sensory preconditioning showed that _____ associations in phase I indicate that _____ is not necessary for learning | S-S; reinforcement |
| second-order conditioning | when new stimulus is associated w/ an established CS that already has a CR, then the new stimulus will begin to elicit CR |
| conditioned inhibition procedure | phase I: A+ phase 2: A+, AX- |
| conditioned inhibition results | - animals develop a CR to A when A is presented alone - CR is inhibited in the presence of X |
| Summation Test | if X is a conditioned inhibitor, does its power to inhibit transfer to another conditioned excitor? YES |
| Retardation of Acquisiton Test | if we try to change a conditioned inhibitor to be an excitor, does it take longer than usual? YES |
| Latent Inhibition procedure | phase I: group 1 gets L alone, group 2 gets nothing phase II: both get L+ |
| Latent Inhibition results | group 1 takes longer to development a CR than group 2 |
| Latent Inhibition is also referred to as the _____ | CS pre-exposure effect |
| In the CS pre-exposure effect, exposure to L prior to training makes L ______ resistant to becoming a conditioned inhibitor later on | more |
| US Pre-Exposure Effect procedure | phase I: group 1 gets US alone, group 2 gets nothing phase II: both groups get CS --> US trials |
| US Pre-Exposure Effect results | group 1 develops CR slower than group 2; habituation to US before training weakens its ability to support learning |
| Overshadwoing procedure | phase I: groups 1 and 2 are control groups, group 3 gets AX+ |
| Overshadowing results | A (more salient) elicits the CR, while X (less salient) doesn't |
| Blocking procedure | phase I: group 1 gest B+, group 2 gets nothing phase II: both get BY+ |
| Blocking results | Y elicits CR in group 2, but not in group 1 b/c prior conditioning to B BLOCKS learning about Y |
| Blocking significance | subjects only appear to learn when new info is provided |
