Exam 2 Flashcards
Acquistion
pairing the CS + US, creates an association
extinction
CS only, creates a decrease in response
CS+
after conditioning, CS isn’t neutral. It becomes a CS+ which is an exciter
CS-
an inhibitor of the CR
Higher order conditioning
CS+ + CS –> CR
Trace procedure
Forward Temporal Pairing CS comes before US, Short ISI is best
Delayed
They overlap. Forward Temporal Contiguity. CS before the US, CS + US end at the same time.
Simultaneous
Temporal Contiguity. Begin and end at the same time.
Backward COnditioning
Temporal COntiguity. Exciitatory and inhibitory learning. The US comes before the CS.
CS-US Contiguity/ ISI
timing, ISI (inter stimulus interval) pause between CS + US, preferred to be short
Rescorlas contingency theory
-1 ——————0 ——— 1
-1): CS - (inhibits CR
(0): No relationship, no learning
(+1): CS predicts US, CR prepares
Stimulus features
Overshadowing
latent inhibition
blocking
sensory preconditioning
Overshadowing
- compound conditioning
- CS (salient bell) / CS weak hum) + US (Food)
- CR becomes established due to the most salient (strongest) CS
Latent Inhibition
Step 1: Pre-exposure to CS (odor)
Step 2: CS (familiar odor) + US (shocked) CR (less avoidance)
Blocking
Step 1: CS (Bell) + US (Food) –> UR (salivate)
Step 2: CS+ (Bell) / CSnew (light) + US
-won’t learn association between CSnew bc theres an already established CS
