Document Summary

Participants learn to predict the absence of the unconditioned response. Us: a stimulus that will provoke a response without training. Ur: the response to an unconditioned stimulus. Cs: a stimulus that is paired with a us, and coes to provoke the same response as the us (in the absence of the us) Cr: the same response as the ur but now to a cs rather than to a us. 1st: select a stimulus that reliably elicits a characteristics. Unconditioned---> signifies the us-your connection is unlearned (innate) 2nd: select a stimulus for conditioning (cs) Can be any reasonable stimulus that does not initially evoke the ur\ Conditioned- signifies that cs will only elicit desired response (cr) after conditioning takes place. Extent to which a cs is a good predictor of the presence of us, it will tend to become a cs+ (excitatory)
