Document Summary

1)classical conditioning (pavlov was a major psychologist related to the study of this): learning to expect and prepare for significant events such as hunger or pain. Learned associations between things that are not naturally associated. Drooling when food is presented to a dog is an unconditioned response. If a tone is associated with food and the tone begins to trigger drooling, this is a conditioned response. Acquisition: neutral stimulus is linked to unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus starts to trigger the conditioned response. In higher order conditioning, a conditioned stimulus can be paired with a new neutral stimulus causing a second conditioned stimulus, therefore meaning a neutral stimulus can become a conditioned stimulus if it becomes associated with a previously conditioned stimulus. Extinction and spontaneous recovery: diminished response when conditioned stimulus no longer signals reward. After waiting however, conditioned response would reappear meaning the extinction was only suppressing the response, not eliminating it.
