Document Summary

Factors affecting conditioning, instrumental model, and law of effect. What is the difference between classical and instrumental conditioning. Classical conditioning of love: reinforcement affect model. Generates positive feelings: gives positive evaluation (like the music) Neutral stimulus (a stranger: positive evaluation (like the stranger) Putting elements together: may and hamilton (1980) Rated attractiveness of male photos after having listened to music. Positive music affects seeing them as more attractive. How quickly you acquire the stimulus and give response, how quick you learn. Forward pairing: the temporal relationship between conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus, cs occurs before ucs, ie. ring bell and give food. Simultanious pairing: cs and ucs at same time. Backward pairing: ucs before cs, give food and then ring bell. Forward pairing is best with cs-ucs interval = 0. 5 seconds: higher order conditioning. Pair cs with another neutral stimulus (secondary cs) Not very effective, cs-ucs bond is no longer reinforced. Index of strength to check how strong response was.
