PSYC*4110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Neurosis, Classical Conditioning, Everytime
Document Summary
Transfer of training: learning to do one task transfers to other. Law of effect: a response is reinforced/stamped-in/strengthened with pleasure. Functionalism that was based on darwin and is inclusive, pragmatic and useful. Nobel prize for dog digestion led to classical conditioning. Dedicated researcher that died within on hour of finishing his last. Generalization: a similar stimulus to conditioned stimulus will lead to same response. Differentiation: a different stimulus (to conditioned stimulus) presented repeatedly isn"t reinforced by unconditioned stimulus. Experiential neurosis: have a mental breakdown from an ambiguous task or unavoidable conflict. Classical conditioning: neutral stimulus elicits response when repeatedly paired with unconditioned stimulus. Ucdt stimulus: natural stimulus that leads to natural response like food. Ucdt response: natural response like salivate for food. Cs: neutral stimulus paired with ucdt stimulus like pair food with bell. Cr: that is learned because of cs like salivated at bell. Everytime someone flushes the toilet, water in shower becomes hot and jump back automatically.
