Document Summary

When specifically experimenting with salivation (dog w/ glands excreting on the outside) salivates when food is given began to salivate. Before getting food (footsteps, see the person) dog able to predict food was coming. Learning: dogs were associating a previous neutral stimulus with salivating (*conditioned reflex) Before conditioning (before learning: food (in mouth) = unconditioned stimulus (us, salivation = unconditioned response (ur, tone = neutral stimulus (ns, no unconditioned response (no salivation) During conditioning: tone (ns) and food (us, salivation (ur) After conditioning: tone (only) = cs, salivation = cr. Higher order conditioning: first order conditioning, neutral stimulus (ns) paired w/ unconditioned stimulus (us, neutral stimulus (ns) becomes conditioned stimulus (cs, ns (tone) +us (food) elicits ur (salivation) ***neutral stimulus must be presented before unconditioned stimulus*** Extinction: the process of reversing the classical conditioning. Spontaneous recovery: the recovery of a conditioned response, extinguish salivation (cr, wait a few hours, present tone again some recovery of the salivation (cr)
