PSYCH 1X03 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Classical Conditioning, Homeostasis, Ophidiophobia
Document Summary
Nicole gets chronic headaches when it rains & takes meds which have side effects of nausea & vomiting. Classical conditioning salivation is first stage of digestion which begins in the mouth when food is first ingested. Unconditional stimulus (us): any stimulus/event that occurs naturally, prior to learning (ex. food in dog"s mouth) Unconditional response (ur): the response that occurs after the unconditioned stimulus; occurs naturally, prior to any learning (ex. salivation in dog"s mouth) Conditional stimulus (cs): paired w/ the unconditioned stimulus to produce a learned contingency (ex. sound of metronome & placing food in dog"s mouth) typically appears before unconditional stimulus. Conditioned response (cr): the response that occurs once the contingency b/w the cs and the us has been learned (ex. sound of metronome will lead to conditioned response of salivation) Acquisition: the process by which a contingency b/w a cs & us is learned.
