Document Summary
Chapter 5: conditioning, learning, and motivation: learning: several types of learning influence the development of motives. Motivated behaviours are acquired directed by learning: pavlovian or respondent conditioning: A procedure whereby formerly neutral stimuli gain control over behaviour. Through a paring procedure of conditioned stimulus (cs) and unconditioned. Stimulus (ucs), the cs motivates the organism to respond in a manner similar to the way it responds to the ucs. Thus, the cs motivates the organism to respond, where previous to conditioning the cs had no effect on the organism"s behaviour: the motivating properties of the cs are acquired by association with the. Cs (ns became a cs) cr: cs activates the ucs process which is connected to a response a: The ucs process mediates the resultant cr: experimental neurosis: difficult discrimination training led to loss of previously established conditioned responses (crs) and the inability to acquire new conditioned responses.
