Psychology Lecture Learning–Classical conditioning

change in an organism's behavior or thought as ar esult of experience

responding less strongly over time to repeated stimuli

-making associations between different stimuli -once the associations are established, recalling the sensory experience of on stimulus retrieves that of the other

-Discovered classical conditioning -russian physiologist and the 1904 nobel prize laureate (for his work on digestive responses in dogs) -unexpectedly found out that dogs began salivating not only to meat powder, but also to research assistant's appearance

stimulus that elicts automatic/reflexive response

response previously associated with a non-neutral stimulus that is elected by a neutral stimulus through conditioning

does not elect any resonse

elicits automatic response

automatic or reflexive response

previously neutral stimulus that elicits response as a result of learning

learning phase during which a conditions stimulus is established

the smaller the time between the CS and UCS presentations, the faster learning occurs

gradual reduction and eventual elimination of a CR after the CS is presented repeatedly without the UCS

sudden reemergence of an extinct conditioned response after a delay in exposure to the conditioned stimulus

conditioned stimuli that are similar, but not identical, to the original conditioned stimulus elicit a conditioned response

by which organisms display a much weaker conditioned responses to conditioned stimuli that differ from the original conditioned stimulus

spearheaded the infamous little albert study to falsify the freudian' view of phobias (that they only stem from the unconscions)
