Document Summary

Need to determine which stimulus is associated with which event. Generalization is when a stimulus close to the cs will also elicit cr (eg. red vs. pink light) Discrimination being able to determine between cs and similar cs vs sissimilar cs. Cs and cssimilar elicits ucs but csdissimilar will not. What happens when another neutral stimulus is present? (eg. bell and light when bell is already conditioned) Csa will override the csb (the organism will not pair csb with the cr) Csa (cid:858)(cid:271)lo(cid:272)ks(cid:859) other sti(cid:373)ulus (cid:894)cs(cid:271)(cid:895) when presented together. Excitatory conditioned response cs excites response (ucs) (cid:894)(cid:449)hat (cid:449)e(cid:859)(cid:448)e talked a(cid:271)out so far) Inhibitory conditioned response when cs inhibits response (absence of ucs) Eg. pa(cid:448)lo(cid:448)(cid:859)s first assista(cid:374)t feedi(cid:374)g dogs (cid:894)e(cid:454)(cid:272)itator(cid:455)(cid:895) a(cid:374)d se(cid:272)o(cid:374)d o(cid:271)ser(cid:448)i(cid:374)g dogs (cid:449)he(cid:374) (cid:374)ot being fed (inhibitory), dogs learn 2nd assista(cid:374)t is(cid:374)(cid:859)t goi(cid:374)g to feed a(cid:374)d do(cid:374)(cid:859)t sali(cid:448)ate.
