Brain Areas for Final:
• Hippocampus
o Consolidation (Amygdala + Cerebral cortex too)
o Formation of Long Term Memories
o LTP
o Coding Spatial Information
o Declarative Memory
o Episodic Memory
o All Types of Amnesia
• Pre Frontal Cortex
o Working Memory
o Korsakoff’s Syndrome Dorsomedial Thalamus
• Basal Ganglia
o Gradual and Procedural Learning
Classical Conditioning
• Ivan Pavlov
• Before the organism has been conditioned, there are two things being observed
o The unconditioned stimulus (US): Any object or event that produces an
involuntary or reflexive reaction in the subject, when the subject notices the
object/event
o The unconditioned response (UR): The involuntary of reflexive reaction to
the US
• After the conditioning, there are four things being observed
o The US
o The UR
o The conditioned stimulus (CS): A formerly neutral stimulus that has been
paired with the US, until the subject responds to either one with an involuntary /
reflexive reaction
o The conditioned response (CR): The UR … but in response to the CS alone

Document Summary
If you do what i want you to, i will give you a reward (allowance, food pellet, gold star: positive punishment. If you do what i don"t want you to, i will give you a punishment (time out, electric shock, spanking) Positive oc: means giving the subject something after they do the target behavior. Negative oc: means taking something away after the target behavior: negative punishment take away your phone, ground you, negative reinforcement sitting in my daughter"s room until she does her homework. In instrumental conditioning: the individual"s response determines the outcome reinforcer or punishment. In classical conditioning: the cs and us occur at certain times regardless of the individual"s behavior. 2: hebb (1949) differentiated between two types of memory, short term memory, long term memory, baddeley and hitch: proposed idea of working memory, h. m famous case when hippocampus was removed to prevent epileptic seizures.
