Belongingness

Question 1

Radiation experiment

Answer 1

First learned fear w exposure to water w nauseating radiation in one group, in the other the sound with water.

Avoidance response;
Nauseating group avoided water
Sound group didn’t.

Question 2

Belongingness

Answer 2

Logical connection between stimulus and cause of the fear. Easier to learn fear in combined stimuli that are associated easier. Like water and nausea compared to water and sound.

Question 3

Association

Answer 3

The conditioned response is often identical to initial unconditioned response, which the traditional learning theory explained as the cause (association betw. CS - CR)

But, CR doesn’t always equal UR: in rats, UR causes heart rate rise, probably pain. After CS, the CR is feezing, probably fear.

Association is between CS and prediction of the US

Question 4

Cognitive theory (fear memory)

Answer 4

CS - US association is the fear memory

Intero-exeroceptive cues that remind someone of the US (eg PA at the mall, or dizziness) cause someone to show CR. Its the anticipated catastrophe.
