Document Summary
A type of unconscious learning that allows us to associate two related events. Dishabituation: increase in responding that follows a change in stimulus to which habitation has occurred. Sensitization: increase in responding, focuses attention to stimuli that do have relevance. Classical conditioning: the learning of contingency b/w a particular signal and a later event that are paired in time/space. Contingent relationship: presentation of one stimulus reliably leading to presentation of another: when organism learns association b/w a signal and an event, cr has been formed b/w two stimuli. The unconditional stimulus (us): unconditionally and automatically triggers response naturally prior to learning (ex. food placed in dog"s mouth triggers response) The unconditional response (ur): the response that occurs after the ur (ex. saliva forms from food in dog"s mouth) Conditioned response (cr): the response that occurs once the contingency b/w cs and us have been learned (ex. sound of metronome eventually elicits cr of salivation: often similar to ur.
