classical conditioning AO1 Flashcards
1
Q
what is classical conditioning
A
learning through association
2
Q
the process of classical conditioning:
A
- USC triggers UCR
- UCS and NS are experienced contiguously
- NS is now a CS and the response is called CR
3
Q
Principles of Classical conditioning:
A
- stimulus generalisation
- discrimination
- extinction
- acquisition
- spontaneous recovery
4
Q
stimulus generalisation
A
producing the same CR to a similar stimuli to the CS
5
Q
discrimination
A
only producing CR to a specific stimuli
6
Q
extinction
A
when the CS is experienced without UCS over a period of time, the CR is extinguished, meaning CS no longer produces CR
7
Q
spontaneous recovery
A
repairing the CS and UCS and CR reappears
8
Q
acquisition
A
the CS and UCS repeatedly paired together and behaviour increases
