What is the purpose of the simplified cartoon depicting the neural circuit involved in Aplysia experiments?
- To indicate the level of fatigue in Aplysia
- To illustrate the process of habituation in Aplysia
- To show the location of the change in the neural circuit (correct)
- To highlight the sensory abilities of Aplysia
In Pavlovian conditioning, what is the difference between CS-US contiguity (Pavlov) and CS-US contingency (Rescorla)?
In Pavlovian conditioning, what is the difference between CS-US contiguity (Pavlov) and CS-US contingency (Rescorla)?
- The type of conditioned response elicited
- The timing of the CS and US presentations (correct)
- The duration of the unconditioned response
- The intensity of the conditioned stimulus
In the contingency space diagram, what does a point representing P(US|CS) = 0 and P(US|noCS) = 0 indicate?
In the contingency space diagram, what does a point representing P(US|CS) = 0 and P(US|noCS) = 0 indicate?
- Supports inhibitory conditioning to the CS
- Indicates extinction of the conditioned response
- Supports excitatory conditioning to the CS
- Supports no conditioning to the CS (correct)
