6 Questions
What is the purpose of the simplified cartoon depicting the neural circuit involved in Aplysia experiments?
To show the location of the change in the neural circuit
In Pavlovian conditioning, what is the difference between CS-US contiguity (Pavlov) and CS-US contingency (Rescorla)?
The timing of the CS and US presentations
In the contingency space diagram, what does a point representing P(US|CS) = 0 and P(US|noCS) = 0 indicate?
Supports no conditioning to the CS
How are withdrawal symptoms related to the initial effect of opiates when addicts go 'cold turkey'?
Withdrawal symptoms are opposite to the initial effects of opiates
What does an experiment from Siegel's lab demonstrate about contextual CSs paired with drug administration?
They evoke conditioned tolerance and a conditioned response (CR)
What experimental evidence from Kandel’s lab supports the notion that habituation of the gill withdrawal response in Aplysia is not caused by fatigue or a change in sensory ability?
Aplysia with impaired sensory ability still show habituation in gill withdrawal response
Test your knowledge of Aplysia experiments and the neural mechanisms underlying habituation. Explore the experimental evidence supporting the notion that habituation of the gill withdrawal response is not caused by fatigue or a change in sensory ability. Also, compare and contrast CS-US contiguity (Pavlov) and CS-US contingency (Rescorla).
