Document Summary

Learning of a contingency between a particular signal and a later event that are paired in time/space. The presentation of one stimulus reliably leads to the presentation of another. Unconditional stimulus: any stimulus or event that occurs naturally prior to learning, example: eating. Unconditional response: the response that occurs after the unconditioned stimulus; this occurs naturally, example: when you eat, you salivate. Conditioned stimulus: previously neutral; paired with the unconditioned stimulus to produce a learned contingency, typically appears before the us, example: when you sound a horn, before eating food. Conditioned response: the response that occurs once the contingency between the. Cs and us has been learned: often the cr and ur are similar, example: now when you hear a horn, you salivate even when food isn"t present. Is the process by which a contingency between a cs and us is learned. The process of acquisition is a negatively accelerating curve.
