Classical conditioning phases
- Acquisition
- The learning phase during where a conditioned response is established
- Increases progressively in strength
- Works best when the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are paired
closely in time
- As trials increase the strength of the conditioned response is
- Extinction
- The reduction and elimination of the conditioned response
- Happens after the conditioned response is presented without the unconditioned
stimulus
- When the behaviour no longer produces any rewards
- As trials without unconditioned stimulus strength reduces
- Spontaneous recovery
- The reappearance of the behavior after extinction and timeout
Classical conditioning principles
- Stimulus generalization
- When a stimulus similar to the conditioned stimulus elicits a conditioned response
- Stimulus discrimination
- When we exhibit a conditioned response only to certain stimuli and not similar once
Higher order conditioning*
- Process where organisms develop classically conditioned responses to conditioned stimuli
associated with the original conditioned stimuli
- You can link things together bell->red light->pat on the head
- Must present the unconditioned response at some point otherwise the conditioned
response will go extinct
Operant Conditioning
- A type of learning in which an individuals behaviour is modified by its consequences
- They learn to operate something
- Also called instrumental conditioning
- Doing a behaviour and it goes well you get rewarded
- Learning is controlled by the consequences of the organisms behaviour

Document Summary
Exam looks to be on april 23 (saturday) at the mac. The learning phase during where a conditioned response is established. Works best when the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are paired closely in time. As trials increase the strength of the conditioned response is. The reduction and elimination of the conditioned response. Happens after the conditioned response is presented without the unconditioned stimulus. When the behaviour no longer produces any rewards. As trials without unconditioned stimulus strength reduces. The reappearance of the behavior after extinction and timeout. When a stimulus similar to the conditioned stimulus elicits a conditioned response. When we exhibit a conditioned response only to certain stimuli and not similar once. Process where organisms develop classically conditioned responses to conditioned stimuli associated with the original conditioned stimuli. You can link things together bell->red light->pat on the head. Must present the unconditioned response at some point otherwise the conditioned response will go extinct.
