Description
| Question | Answer |
| Neutral Stimulus (NS) | Any environment stimulus that doesn't naturally produce a behavioural response (e.g. a chair doesn't produce a fear response) |
| Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) | Any stimulus that produces a natural unlearnt behavioural response (e.g. noise, food, light, touch etc.) |
| Unconditioned Response (UCR) | Any response that occurs naturally without learning (e.g. looking at the Sun, smelling food when you're hungry) |
| Conditioned Stimulus (CS) | A stimulus that has been associated with a UCS so that it now produces the same response as the UCS on its own |
| Conditioned Response (CR) | A learnt behaviour that is shown in response to a learnt conditioned stimulus |
| Extinction | When you make the dog unlearn a conditioned stimulus (apply to Pavlov's Dogs) |
| Spontaneous Recovery | When the salivation process becomes spontaneous, the conditioned response can happen randomly (apply to Pavlov's Dogs) |
| Stimulus Generalisation | When you associate a conditioned stimulus with other things like it i.e. a circle is similar to an oval, both will cause a conditioned response |
| Before conditioning | Bell -> No response NS -> No response |
| During conditioning | Bell + Food -> Salivation NS/CS + UCS -> UCR |
| After conditioning | Bell -> Salivation CS -> CR |
