PSYC 2330 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Procedural Memory, Explicit Memory, Classical Conditioning
Document Summary
There is an affect involved in association. Response = animal learns if they make the right turn they get the food - develop a habit (stimulus-response) Place - when the animals gets to the choice position, they look up and go towards the direction it knows where the food is based on surroundings - they are making a map of the maze - stimulus-stimulus. To test this you can turn the maze around, the stimulus response rat will just turn right and not find the food the stimulus-stimulus rat will find the food. What the animal does depends on how much you train them. The animals will essentially use both strategies at different stages of training. If you train them for a few days, and they are doing well and then you do the switch. After a few training sessions they are using the place strategy.
