Document Summary
In dogs: before conditioning, food (= unconditioned stimulus/ucs) elicits salivation (= unconditioned response/ucr) Phobias of snakes, insects and needles are common: there are also many other examples (agoraphobia, aversion claustrophobia, etc. , beginning with office elements, within an office context, aversive (negative) experiences in office, results in negative office memories. In addition to our genetic programming, our ability to learn cs-ucs associations is also dependent upon previous experiences. In the initial conditioning procedure, the sound predicts food delivery. It"s i(cid:373)po(cid:396)ta(cid:374)t to (cid:396)e(cid:373)e(cid:373)(cid:271)er that any given stimulus usually varies greatly in quality: consider the conditioned stimulus of the bell (cs) that elicits salivation (cr) in. Pa(cid:448)lo(cid:448)"s e(cid:454)pe(cid:396)i(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts: will all these different sounds elicit the same cr from the animals. Stimulus generalization: stimuli that are similar to the original cs may elicit behavioural responses conditioned to that cs = stimulus generalization. Is cc permanent: our environments are dynamic and constantly changing.
