NROC61H3 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Little Albert Experiment, Morphine, Microdialysis
Document Summary
Pavlovian conditioning: studies of pavlov, also known as classical condition, form of associative learning, by repeated pairing of neutral stimulus with stimulus with reflexive response. Neutral stimulus will acquire to evoke response of reinforcer stimulus. John watson little albert: study with 11 months old boy albert with fear responses, rat (cs) will pair with the unpleasant loud noise (us), which evoke fear/crying (ur) response. Then rat alone itself began to elicit same fear response (cr) Eventually albert will generalize the fear to other white furry things. Other properties of classical conditioning: acquisition: repeated pairing of cs-us, initial stage of learning, extinction: presentation of cs alone without us, occurrence of ur will decrease/disappear, spontaneous recovery: extinction features disappear, recovery of condition response. Cr re-appears, but strength of response is not as high as acquisition: stimulus generalization: strength of response will similar if share same properties between 2 stimuli.
