Classical Conditioning
Cards in this deck (13)
- 1Define classical conditioningLearning to associate a stimulus that already brings about a particular response with a new stimulus so that this beings about the same response (learning through association)
- 2Give an example of the anticipation of a probable consequence triggers an approriate response to ensure safetySneezing - gets rid of substances that are irritate the nose and are likely to be harmful
- 3Define a UCSA stimulus that produces a reflexive behaviour e.g. salivation
- 4Define a UCRA reflexive behaviour e.g. salivating in response to smelling food
- 5Define an NSA stimulus that doesn't normally produce a natural reflex e.g. a bell
- 6Define a CSA neutral stimulus that has been paired with a UCS a now produces a response e.g. food + bell
- 7Define a CRBehaviour produced by the CS e.g. salivating in response to a bell without need for food
- 8How many times does the UCS need to be paired with the CS?7 times
- 9Define acquisitionThis is the learning phase of CC during which the CS gradually increases freq/stregnth
- 10Define generalisationThis is when an original association is extended to include similar stimuli which also produce CR e.g. Little Albert feared white beared etc.
- 11Define ExtinctionDisappearance of CR in absence of repeated associations of reinforcement e.g. Pavlov found his dogs stopped salivating to the sound of a bell ringing because they were no longer getting fed.
- 12Define spontaneous recoveryWhen an extinguished CR suddenly reappears after a period of absence of the CS or any other triggers
- 13Define 2nd/higher conditioningUsing a CS to produce a response from another NS e.g pair the sound of a bell with a white coat to get salivation
