Document Summary
Generalization of the initial learning to other similar stimuli. Things can be lumped together" in regards to their similarity. The red marking leads to the expression of the reflex of pecking at the beak. Remember maps: overshadowing : 2 groups of interest. Light : blocking : one of the two stimuli carries. 2 ways to show this. information in the blocking group and not in the other. Once you already perfectly predict an outcome, you block out all things that might also predict. The blocking group already expects pellets to light. They see the light, they expect pellets, pellets arrive, the sound is not important. Sensory pre-conditioning: one reaction from two things that were evoked in the mind. Second order conditioning: the result is the same, but since the food is a reinforcer and the sound means food, the sound is a conditioned reinforcer . A1 shows reduced delay in firing as the intensity of the stimulus increases.
