Document Summary

Classical conditioning ivan pavlov: unconditioned stimulus triggers unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus is introduced to trigger same response, link is triggered in temporal lobes, reflexive responses. Hebb rule: when a weak neural response is triggered at the same time as a strong one the weak one is strengthened. Acquisition is the initial phase of learning in which a response is established: when the unconditioned stimulus is paired with the conditioned stimulus to trigger the unconditioned response. Extinction is the loss of the conditioned response by no longer presenting the conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus. Spontaneous recovery is when the conditioned response spontaneously is repaired with the stimuli after some time has passed since extinction. Stimulus generalization is a process a process where a response is triggered from a similar stimulus to the conditioned stimulus even though they are not identical.
