PS102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Systematic Desensitization, Relaxation Technique, Foodborne Illness
Document Summary
Multiple cs-ucs pairings (multiple trials) don"t expect immediate effects. Exception: intense, aversive ucs can produce one-trial learning (very rare, very intense and immediate association) very aversive (e. g. pain car crash, food poisoning). Time interval between onset of cs and onset of ucs is short. Refers to the relative strengths of responses elicited by the cs and ucs before they are paired. The ucs needs to be stronger than the cs (e. g. if i"m training you something related to the picture of the textbook, and i pair it with a loud bang, the bang will overpower the book). Strongest needs to be what you will have the most obvious response to. Causes cr to weaken and eventually disappear. You conditioned your dog to drool at bells and now you don"t like it anymore so you. Process in which cs is presented in absence of ucs want to uncondition him to drool.
