Document Summary
Tep 1: identifying the (cid:862)natural(cid:863) u -ur pairing. Step 4: cs alone causes cr: us- dog sees bag of food, ur- dog salivates, cs- tuning fork, cr- dog salivates upon seeing tuning fork. Clockwork orange: us- takes drug, ur- gets sick, ns- violent films, cs- violence, cr- gets sick. Generalization: once conditioned, other stimuli similar to the cs will produce the same. Discrimination: the organism learns to differentiate between similar stimuli. Spontaneous recovery: increased response to the cs after a rest from extinction trials. Systematic desensitization: how we reverse phobias. Behaviorists argue that differences in experience are responsible for virtually all differences in behavior: antecedents- environmental stimuli (ex. Extinction- occurs when the reinforcement is omitted after the subject makes the response. Generalization: subject makes the same response in the presence of similar stimuli: subject can learn to discriminate between similar stimuli. Shaping- establishes a new response by reinforcing successive approximations to it.
