PSYC 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Little Albert Experiment, Classical Conditioning, Habituation
Document Summary
However, abnormal stimulus: having a dog drool when it hears a bell. Pavlov and dog- pared two stimuli together tht you are able to drop on stimulant. Ucr- unconditioned stimulus: naturally causes response, natural response to unconditioned stimulus. Cs- controlled stimulus: new stimulus, ns becomes cs- usually nothing but want to cause something, dogs don"t drool with bell, response is still neutral, but happens because of something that they are taught. Was scared because of noise, not mouse. Ns and cs must be the same thing. Ucs and ns are being paired togheter. Forward pairing- ns before ucs- more effective: if you do it enough, the kid will be scared of ns. Should have only a couple of seconds between the 2- short delay because you want to connect both of them. Speicall classical conditioning that has to do with food averision (food itself should not cause anything) Can discriminate stimulus with something that is similar to it.
