Document Summary
Classical conditioning or pavlovian conditioning when we learn two types of events go together (i. e. scary movies and faster heart rate) Critical to acquisition contiguity learned association that the stimuli occur together in time. Child was emotionally stable therefore would do little harm: at 9 months, presented kid with various neutral objects (white rat, rabbit, dog, monkey, costume mask, ball of white wool) Albert showed natural curiosity regarding items but no overt emotional response: at 11 months, conditioning trials. Presented white rat but as albert reached for it, they would smash a hammer into an iron bar (producing loud sound) which scared albert and caused him to withdraw hand. 1960s people challenged + same some conditioned stimuli more likely to produce learning than others + continuity not sufficient to create cs-us associations. Satisfying state of affairs will more likely occur again, and any behaviour that leads to an annoying state of affairs will less likely recur.
