Document Summary

Intersimulus interval (ime between when start ringing the bell and give the food: measuring condiioned responses doing test trials, magnitude- how much is the dog drooling. Latency- ime between when you ring the bell and the dog actually drools. Explicitly unpaired control**work beter than random: one trial you only ring the bell. The next trial you only give food: animal won"t get classically condiioned. Inhibitory pavlovian condiioning- when you are expecing something not to happen. Predicing you won"t get bullied when your big brother is around. Present the cs+ with a cs-, a condiioned inhibitor. You ring the bell all morning, and then in the aternoon you try to pair the bell with food: dog won"t be condiioned because he becomes habituated to the bell- will ignore it. If simulus is novel, you are more likely to associated it with uncondiioned simulus (food) The more novel the simulus is, the quicker the dog will learn.
