- 1classical conditioninga learning process that occurs when 2 stimuli are constantly paired
- 2how does conditioning occur?1. before conditioning: The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) produces an unconditioned response (UCR) . This occurs naturally and the beahviour is unlearned. The neutral stimulus here doesnt have an effect yet.
*For example, a stomach virus (UCS) would produce a response of nausea (UCR).
2. during conditioning: The previous neutral stimulus (NS) is now associated with the UCS to make it a conditioned stimulus (CS).
*For example, a stomach virus (UCS) might be associated with eating a certain food such as chocolate (CS).
3. after conditioning: the CS is now associated with the UCS to produce a conditioned response (CR).
*example: chocolate (CS) which was eaten before a person was sick with a virus (UCS) now produces a response of nausea (CR). - 3acquisition (initial learning)when one links a neutral stimulus (bell) and unconditioned stimulus (food) so that the neutral stimulus begins to trigger a conditioned response (salivation)
- 4higher-order (second order) conditioningwhen a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. light) starts being associated with the conditioned stimulus (the tone for food arrival).
e.g. the animal starts reacting to only the light because it thinks the light predicts tone which predicts food. - 5extinctionwhen the CS (tone) keeps happening but theres no UCS (food), the responding slows (salivation)
- 6spontaneous recoveryeven if the conditioned stimulus occurred without the unconditioned stimulus, dogs still salivated when the tone appeared after some hours.
the dogs recovered and shows a weakened conditioned response - 7generalizationthings similar to the conditioned stimulus will produce a similar conditioned response.
- 8discriminationthe learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other irrelevant stimuli.
e.g. pavlovs dogs learned to only respond to specif types of tone and not other. - 9behaviorismjohn watson
that animals behaviour can be explained through condition without regards to mental processes such as feelings/emotions. - 10aversion therapypairing an unpleasnt stimulus with a neutral one
watson induced phobia of fuzzy animals in an 11-month old baby. - 11counterconditioningpair a conditioned stimulus with a pleasant stimuli to undo phobias
