Document Summary

Association of neutral stimulus with one that consistently elicits a response: ucs- ucr, pair cs with ucs, cs- cr. Orienting reflex: model is not response contingent. Not depend on what the dog does, it is dependent of the pairing: cr doesn"t equal ucr ex. Music)- generates positive feelings= positive evaluation (like music) Faster it drops the faster you learn (negatively accelerated) Condition stimulus is presented before the unconditioned stimulus (ucs) is presented. Cs and usc interval=0. 5 seconds: simultaneous pairing. Occurs at the same time: backward pairing. Pair primary cs with another neutral stimulus (secondary cs) Cs and usc bond is no longer reinforced. Degree of responding to stimuli similar to training stimulus. Highest response to the level you were trained at, still give responses to levels you were not trained at. Stimulus-response bond is strengthened by reinforcement = law of effect. Rat presses bar, result is reward is delivered. If its reinforcement it will always increase the behaviour.
