Document Summary

Classical or pavlovian: association of neural stimulus (him) with one that consistently elicits a response, learning by association. Classically condition love: don byrne, reinforcement - affect model. Chapter 7: dreams and learning: arousing stimulus (music) -> positive feelings -> positive evaluation (like music, neutral stimulus (stranger) -> positive evaluation (like stranger) Acquisition curves: response strength, latency (cs -cr, time frame between cs and cr. In the beginning you wont produce cr at all but by time you will learn it will come and the latency will get shorter over time. Temporal continuity: forward pairing, the best - strongest. Interval = 0. 5 seconds: cs becomes cue, present cs before ucs, bell before food powder, simultaneous paring. Higher-order conditioning: pair primary cs with another neutral stimulus (secondary cs, not very effective, primary cs-ucs bond is no longer reinforced, doesn"t give dog meat powder anymore just ring bell and do something else, the cr extinguishes.
