Document Summary

Be able to define and give an example of classical conditioning. Ivan pavlov (1849 1936) did not set out to study classical conditioning or any other psychological phenomenon. He happened on classical conditioning while conducting research on digestion. When stop the pairing, cs no longer functions like us: be able to define acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, and stimulus generalization. Acquisition: the stage in a classical conditioning experiment during which the conditioned response is first elicited by the conditioned stimulus. Extinction: the weakening of a conditioned association in the absence of a reinforce or unconditioned stimulus. Spontaneous recovery: the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a rest period. Stimulus generalization: the automatic extension of conditioned responding to similar stimuli that have never been paired with the unconditioned stimulus: understand siegel"s work with classical conditioning with drug users and compensation. Don"t have the normal conditioned stimulus (body overdoses) Increasingly larger doses are needed as the conditioned compensatory response itself grows.
