Document Summary
Lecture 2 classical conditioning examples of cc: Calvin was chased & assaulted by an aggressive rooster when he was just barely three years old: as an adult he still gets little blips in his stomach when he hears the word. rooster and he claims that birds make him nervous: the us = the attack of the rooster, the ur , pain / fear (innate response, cs , word rooster" / site of it, cr , pain / fear. Our associations built through cc are often through reflexes. Humans are born with a number of reflexes: sucking reflex, moro reflex (babies grabbing onto anything, knee-jerk reflex, eye-blink reflex, pupillary reflex. Reflexive responses can be classically conditioned (because they are things that we already have built in us) We need to separate out contiguity and contingency : contiguity contingency. Pavlovian conditioning is based on contiguity rather than contingency.
