classical conditioning Flashcards
what was referred to dogs salivating towards food?
psychic secretions
inborn, unlearned, usually permanent, little variation. stereotyped
unconditioned stimulus
not present at birth, acquired through experience, don’t stay forever.
conditional
how does a neutral stimulus evoke a reflex response?
pavlovian/ classical conditioning
the procedure of pairing a neutral stimulus with a well established CS. Neutral stimulus never paired with US only CS.
high order conditioning. CS2 > CS1 > R
how fast one responds
response latency
actual measuring, look at response in frequency to see learning.
test trail
neutral stimulus to elicit CR when presented after a US has elicited a reflex response. gets shot (us) > wince (ur) > nurse coughs. then when a nurse coughs they wince. sensitized.
pseudoconditioning
the neutral stimulus is on the off, gap of time is where a response will occur, learning happens fast.
trace conditioning
allows to take a break, experiences US.
interstimulus interval
rapid associative learning, cs turning on before us.
delayed conditioning
CS and US at the same time, end up paying attention to US more, slow response.
simultaneous conditioning
US happens before CS
backward conditioning
how predictable they are together, dictates effectiveness of CC, rescorla study,
CS - US contigency
interval between CS and US important, more contagious, faster CR appears.
CS -US contigency
end of CS and onset of US
trace
interval between onset of CS and onset of US
delayed
CS consists of 2+ stimuli presented simultaneously. (red light and buzzer)
compund stimulus
failure of a stimulus that is part of a compound stimulus to become a CS.
overshawdowing
failure of CC due to prior presentation of CS in absence of US.
latent inhibition
failure of stimulus to become a CS when it is part of a compound stimulus that includes an effective CS.
blocking
what interferes with CS?
age, temperament, emotional state
present the CS without US.
extinction
CS subs for US, CR is the same as the UR, but they are not always the same, CR is weaker, less reliable
stimulus substitution theory
