Document Summary
Conditioning: strengthening or weakening the association between stimuli in the environment and some response. Ivan pavlov: first research in conditioning: canine digestion: drained saliva from dogs and measured amount in various situations. Noticed: dog"s salivating without food being in its mouth. (conditional on dogs prior experiences) Response (ur) to some stimulus, an unconditioned stimulus (us). Ex: us=heat from a stove, ur=jerking your hand away. When an unconditioned stimulus (us) is presented many times with a neutral stimulus, the neutral stimulus will produce the unconditioned. Response (ur) without the presence of the us. Conditioned stimulus (cs) and the response is called a conditioned. Classical conditioning: the process of acquiring a conditioned response through learning. Extinction: presenting the cs without the us repeatedly will cause gradual loss of the. Higher order conditioning: pairing another neutral stimulus often with the cs will enable that stimulus to produce the conditioned response. Stimulus generalization: stimuli similar to a conditioned stimulus may produce the.
