Learning / Classical Conditioning

any lasting change in behavior brought about by experience or practice.

Russian, classical conditioning, digestion in dogs

affects basic, survival-oriented responses; learning to make a reflex response to a stimulus other than the normally produced reflex (ex: food=salivation; tuning fork=salivation); timing connects them.

a naturally occurring stimulus that leads to involuntary response (unlearned or naturally occurring)

an involuntary response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus

stimulus that is able to produce a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

before the conditioned stimulus (CS) causes the conditioned response (CR)

learned reflex response to conditioned stimulus

repeated pairing of the neutral stimulus (NS) and the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) = acquired learning

disappearance or weaking of a learned response following the removal/absence of the UCS(classicial conditioning) OR the removal of the reinforcer (operant conditioning)

tendency to respond to a SIMILAR stimulus with the conditioned response (ex: different TONE of a tuning fork)

Stopping a generalized response to a stimulas that is SIMILAR to the original CS because the similar stimulus is never paired with the UCS.

reappearance of a learned response after extinction has occurred

Emotional response that has become CLASSICALLY conditioned to occur with a learned stimuli, such as fear of dogs/can lead to phobias / irrational fear responses

classical conditioning of a reflex response or emotion by watching the reaction of another person

development of nausea or aversion to a particular taste because the taste was followed by a negative reaction/ after wards

animals learn certain associations, such as taste or nausea due to survival value of learning

original theory in which PAVLOV stated classicial conditioning occurred because the (CS) became a substitute for for the (UCS)

Modern theory where classicial conditioning is seen to occur because the (CS) provides info or expectancy about the coming of the (UCS)

Food (UCS).....elicits.....Salivation (UCR) Tone (NS) ......elicits.....No Salivation (no response)

Tone followed by Food...elicits...Salivation (CS).....................(UCS).....................(UCR)

Tone (CS).......elicits..........Salivation (CR) (no food)...........................Conditioned Response

was an innate reflex - NATURAL RESPONSE
