Classical Conditioning

Classical Conditioning

1. Ways to Order CS & UCS

   • Forward Conditioning
     • Delayed Conditioning
       • CS is presented, and is presented until UCS is presented. (Overlap)
     • Trace Conditioning
       • CS is presented, then ends. Then UCS is presented. (No overlap)
   • Backwards Conditioning
     • UCS is presented THEN CS is presented.
       • Causes inhibitory conditioning
   • Stimulus Conditioning
     • CS and UCS are presented at the same time

2. Responses & Stimuli

   • Stimuli
     • Neutral Stimulus
       • Stimulus that does not elicit a response on it's own.
     • Unconditioned Stimulus
       • Stimulus that reliably elicits a response
     • Conditioned Stimulus
       • NS that, once paired with UCS, becomes the CS
   • Responses
     • Unconditioned Response
       • A naturally occurring response
     • Conditioned Response
       • Response elicited by the once neutral stimuli after it was paired with the UCS
