Document Summary
Studies of classical conditioning began with the work of russian physiologist. Pavlov: started when he noticed that dogs created psychic secretions every time they were presented food. Performed the first systematic studies of classical conditioning. Snarskii extended the studies with the use of artificial substances: used different colors to color bowls of water. Some substances produced distinctive taste and texture sensations in the mouth, known as orosensory stimuli. To study the mechanisms of associative learning, the stimuli to be associated have to be manipulated independently of one another: pavlov used procedures in which the stimuli to be associated came from different sources. Involves two stimuli: one of these stimuli is a tone or a light. The other stimulus is food or the taste of sour solution placed in the mouth. Most contemporary experiments on pavlovian conditioning are carried out with rats, rabbits, and pigeons. Little albert experiment: conditioned rat (cs) with loud abstract noise (us) and made little.
