Document Summary
Behaviour shaped by consequences, we keep track unconsciously. Behaviorist say we a tabula rosa- blank slate. Pavlov"s dog- reflexive salivation in dogs could be elicited by stimuli associated with feed. He elicited salivating when there was not before. We already salivate- reflexive behavior which must already present. Now cs is pair with ucs over many trials. 1st bell not associated with meat- no ucr. 2nd bell- associated with meat- ucr salivation become cr. Cash- in front- hands get sweaty, pulse increase, intrinsic response is constantly paired with pleasurable experience, even though it doesn"t have any true value in itself. Flash light(ucs) then tazer(unr) over many trials and then flash light produces anxiety. Pair light with shock again and association in same strength. Spontaneous recovery= refers to reemergence of previously extinguished cr. Expose people to phobias- hierarchy of fears- systematic: teach them to get scared as possible and let fear response stop (habituate fear response) work up the hierarchy.
