Document Summary

Dogs salivated to many non-edible things in their mouth, eventually just seeing them caused salivation. eventually, any feature can be associated with drooling (ex. sight, texture, smell, etc. ) Classical conditioning: something that normally produces no response, when paired with something that does cause a response, the neutral stimulus begins to produce a response. Us (unconditional stimulus) - causes natural response. stimulus that elicits a response that is not conditional on training (ex food) Ur (unconditional response) - natural response. not conditional on learning (ex salivation) Cs (conditional stimulus) - elicits response due to training (ex. bell ringing for food, dog runs when bell is heard. ) Cr conditional response - response due to training (ex. drooling when hearing bell) Extinction - cs alone. gradual elimination of cr. Spontaneous recovery - cs alone, cr returns. proves extinction does not mean unlearnt . Spontaneous recovery proved that extinction does not cause unlearning .
