Study Notes
Ivan Pavlov and Classical Conditioning
- Ivan Pavlov is recognized as the founder of classical conditioning, a key concept in behaviorism.
- Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
- This learning theory emphasizes that responses can be developed toward stimuli that initially do not provoke them.
Key Terminology in Classical Conditioning
- Neutral Stimulus (NS): A stimulus that does not elicit any response before conditioning occurs.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior conditioning.
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): The automatic, natural response that occurs when the UCS is presented.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Initially a neutral stimulus that, after being paired with the UCS, begins to elicit a response.
- Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to the conditioned stimulus, established through conditioning.
Important Concepts
- Extinction occurs when the conditioned response diminishes and eventually disappears after repeated presentations of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.
- Spontaneous Recovery refers to the reappearance of the conditioned response after a period of extinction has occurred.
- Pavlov's research primarily focused on the salivation response in dogs, which became a foundational study demonstrating classical conditioning principles.
- His work earned him a Nobel Prize, highlighting the significance of his discoveries in behavioral science.
