classical conditioning
learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired
4 components of classical conditioning:
- unconditioned stimulus
- unconditioned response
- conditioned stimulus
- conditioned response
unconditional refers to the stimulus or response being:
natural or instinctual and not needing to be conditioned to learn
unconditioned stimulus:
a stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response
unconditioned response:
an unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus that occurs without previous conditioning
conditioned stimulus:
stimulus that does not evoke the response
conditioned response:
a learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of previous conditioning
common conditioning procedures: (4)
- delay conditioning
- trace conditioning
- simultaneous conditioning
- backward conditioning
delay conditioning:
presenting a conditioned stimulus for a short period of time with the unconditioned stimulus appearing toward the end of that period
interstimulus interval:
time between the onset of the CS and the onset of US
intertrial interview:
the time between trials
trace conditioning:
conditioned stimulus is presented first and then the unconditioned stimulus is presented after alone. CS is not presented at the same time with US
trace interval:
period between when neither stimulus is present
simultaneous conditioning:
the CS and the US are presented at the same exact time
backward conditioning:
the unconditioned stimulus is presented first and the conditioned stimulus is presented after
