Document Summary
Ps261 chapter 3 notes classical conditioning: foundations. Relationship between two stimuli is learned about so that future behaviour is changed. Classical conditioning capitalizes on the predictable sequence of events in the environment; if one stimulus reliably precedes another stimulus, then these two stimuli can become associated. Pavlov"s discovery came through on his work on digestion. Object learning learning to associate a visual feature with a neural connection. Classical conditioning involves two kinds of stimuli, and the subject"s responses to each of those stimuli. Unconditioned response (ur) response to the us. Conditioned stimulus (cs) learned; needs to be paired with the us to make a response. Conditioned response (cr) response to the cs; this is what researcher"s measure. Therefore, if a response is elicited by the cs, then this means that the cs is associated with the us, and learning has taken place.
