Document Summary
Differential inhibition procedure: it"s differential because you"re treating to cs differently, the first one you"re presenting with a us. The second one is being presented without a us: the first cs is creating an exciter and in the second cs you"re creating an inhibitor. Conditioned inhibition procedure: two step process, step one: cs-1 is presented with the us (such as tone with food), step 2 compound presentation of cs-1 and cs-2 with no us. Appetitive behavior: flexible, adaptive to the environment, acts as a behavioural trigger so you begin searching for certain stimuli, example: squirrel looking for nuts. Example: if you show me a map of guelph i may latently learn this. This means that if i drive to guelph i may find things will be more familiar because this went to the back of my brain and came out when there was a need. Hypothalamus/ventral tagmental area vta (production of dopamine etc)
