UNIT 3, AOS2 - Dot point 1 (classical conditioning) Flashcards
(15 cards)
What is classical conditioning?
A form of learning that occurs through REPEATED ASSOCIATION of two different stimuli to produce a naturally occurring response.
In classical conditioning, the learner is passive.
Classical conditioning produces an involuntary response.
what is Before conditioning?
The first stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus has no associations and does not produce any significant response.
what is During conditioning?
The second stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus, producing an unconditioned response.
what is After conditioning?
The third stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus, producing a conditioned response.
what is the Neutral stimulus?
The stimulus that produces no significant response prior to conditioning.
what is the Unconditioned stimulus?
The stimulus that produces an unconscious response.
what is the Unconditioned response?
A naturally occurring behaviour in response to a stimulus.
what is the Conditioned stimulus?
(Originally the neutral) stimulus that produces a conditioned response after being repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
what is the Conditioned response?
The response that occurs involuntarily after the conditioned stimulus is presented.
True or false?
the neutral stimulus and the conditioned stimulus will be the same thing.
TRUE
True or false?
The unconditioned response and the conditioned response are also the same thing, but you must identify which stage the response is at.
TRUE 🤯✅
True or false?
It can be easier to start with the conditioned stimulus and response, and then work backwards.
TRUE!
In classical conditioning, is the learner active or passive?
Passive – they don’t choose, it happens automatically.
Are the responses in classical conditioning voluntary or involuntary?
Involuntary – automatic reactions.
When is the stimulus presented in classical conditioning?
Before the response.
