Document Summary
Historically, conditioned behavior was viewed as a response elicited directly by the cs. Conditioning established a new stimulus-response (s-r connection between the cs and the cr). An important alternative view is that subjects learn a new stimulus-stimulus (s-s connection between the. Participants respond to the cs not because it elicits a cr directly but because the cs activates a representation or. Conditioned responding is assumed to reflect the status of the activated. This technique has been used to answer many important questions in behavior theory. Us devaluation experiments have provided evidence of s-s learning in a wide range of classical conditioning. Situations but not all instances of classical conditioning involve s-s learning. Direct s-r association between the cs and the cr. Pavlovian conditioning as modification of responses to the unconditioned stimulus. Learning to respond to a cs is useful to an organism only if the cr helps it cope with the.
