Who was Twitmeyer?
American psychologist
Early 1900's
1
What did Twitmeyer study?
Innate reflexes
2
What are innate reflexes?
Automatic behavior patterns genetically wired into the brain or nervous system
Behaviors/reflexes you are born, stuff you don't have to learn
3
What is the patellar reflex?
Knee jerk response
(When the doctor hits your knee)
4
What did Twitmeyer discover?
Conditioned reflex
5
What is a conditioned reflex?
A learned response pattern in which a neutral stimulus is connected with a stimulus that sets off an innate, reflexive response, until the neutral stimulus alone brings about that reflexive response
6
Who is often given credit for discovering conditioned reflexes?
Pavlov
7
Who was Pavlov?
Russian doctor
8
What was Pavlov studying?
Dog saliva
Drilling holes in the side of the dog glands
Found out dogs drool when fed
9
What is an unconditioned stimulus (UCS)?
A stimulus whose ability to bring about a particular reflective response is built in, rather then conditional on learning (dependent on, a result of)
Anything that naturally causes a reflex to occur
Example: food, which cause dogs to drool
10
What is an unconditioned response (UCR)?
An innately determined response pattern that is set off by an unconditioned stimulus
A response naturally cause by an unconditioned stimulus
Example: blink because something came close to your eye
11
What is a neutral stimulus (NS)?
A stimulus that does NOT set off a particular unconditioned response
12
What is a conditioned stimulus (CS)?
A formerly neutral stimulus which, after frequently being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, takes on the ability to elicit the response which was an unconditioned response to that unconditioned stimulus
A neutral stimulus that have been used so much that is now acts on its own
13
What is a conditioned response (CR)?
A learned response to a conditioned stimulus
A learned response which is a natural stimulus
14
What is the conditioned pattern schedule
UCS --> UCR
NS + UCS --> UCR
CS + UCS --> CR
CS --> CR
15
Pavlov renamed conditioned reflex...
Classical Conditioning
16
What are some other names for classical conditioning?
Respondent conditioning
Reflex conditioning
S-R learning
S-R conditioning
Pavlovian conditioning
17
What is conditioning?
A situation in which a previously neutral stimulus gains the ability to elicit a reflexive or automatic response
Make a new response to the same stimulus
