Generalization

Pinel, condtioned taste aversion, with rats and saline

perform response to stimulus in particular

learning to revognise relavence of different stimuli

stimulus

perceptual learning

Motor Learning

Response

Changes in the neural circuit that detects a particular stimulus

learning to identify and discriminate different types of stimuli

Changes in the neural circuit that controls a particular behaviour

learning how to modify motor responses

association between two stimuli. previous unimportant stimulus acquires characteristics from important stimulus

Many stimuli prompt a response without you needing to learn what stimulus is or how to respond

Stimuli and Responses

Machaniasms of salivation in dogs

Unconditional stimulus

unconditional response

Conditional stimulus (bell) alongside food

Conditional response (salivation)

A stimulus producing an unconditional response

Automatic response to unconditional stimulus

irrelevant stimulus repeated alongside US = conditional response

Resonse that only occurred after US now happens with CS after repetition with both

examined digestive system of dogs

served food to the dogs to make them salivate

eventually dogs salivated when people entered

The food was an unconditional stimulus

Salivation was an unconditional response

prompted a response from dogs without training

On seeing the food, the dogs began to salivate reflexively

Repeated presentation of CS without UN leads to decrease in CR

After a rest, a seeimingly extinguished response may return, but not as strongly

CR to stimuli similar, not identical to the trained, conditional stimulus

the development of an aversion to the taste of a foodstuff following the experience of feeling ill after consuming it
