- Basic Assumptions
- Classical
Conditioning -
learning through
association
- Pavlov and Watson
- Extinction - CR will
disappear if UCS does
not appear after the CS
- Discrimination- CR
elicited only by the
origional CS
- Generalisation - other similar
stimuli to the origional CS can
produce a CR

disappear if UCS does
not appear after the CS

- Primary reinforcers - food,
water & sex are natural
reinforcers
- Secondary reinforcers - aquire
reinforcing properties through
association of primary R. We
have to learn through CC to find
them reinforcing
