Document Summary

Classical conditioning allows us to associate two related events. Instrumental conditioning allows us to associate actions and consequences. Made observation dogs would salivate even before the delivery of food in their mouth, as if an early step in the process of digestion was triggered even before the food stimulus arrives. Sound of a metronome signaled to a dog that food was about to be delivered. Prior to training, the sound of the metronome has no observable effect on the dogs behavior. Following training, a dog would begin salivating in response to the sound of the metronome alone behavior was called conditional reflex. Contingent relationship: the presentation of one stimulus reliably leads to the presentation. Eg/ flash of lightning before crash of thunder. When an organism learns the association between a signal and an event a contingency has formed between the two stimuli. When a contingent relationship is learned, an organism can respond to the signal before the event occurs.
