Document Summary

That rings a bell! (associating stimuli with other things) Learning: an enduring change in behavior, resulting from experience. Classical conditioning: a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a reflexive response because it has become associated with a stimulus that already produces that response. Before conditioning: ucs (food in mouth: an unconditioned stimulus produces an unconditioned response (ucr, a neutral stimulus produces no salivation response. During conditioning: neutral stimuls + ucs (food in mouth: the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented jus after the neutral stimulus. The unconditioned stimulus continues to produce an unconditioned response. After conditioning: cs (tone) -> cr (salivation: the neutral stimulus alone now produces a conditioned response (cr) thereby becoming a conditioned stimulus (cs) Acquisition: the gradual formation of an association between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. Extinction: a process in which the conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
