    Study Notes

    Classical Conditioning Overview

    • Classical Conditioning is a learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
    • Key components include unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UR), neutral stimulus (NS), and conditioned response (CR).

    Case Study: Miah's Shower Incident

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Hot water
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Pain experienced
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Toilet being flushed
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Jumping out of the shower upon hearing a flush

    Case Study: Molly at the State Fair

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Heat
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Fainting due to discomfort
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Carousel music
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Feeling dizzy when hearing carousel music after the event

    Case Study: Ryan and the Tuna Sandwich

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Spoiled mayonnaise
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Sickness after eating
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Thought of a tuna sandwich
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Nausea triggered by mere thought of tuna

    Case Study: Jenny and Precious the Cat

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Bright flash from the camera
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Blinking due to bright light
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Clicking sound
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Blinking upon hearing the click

    Case Study: Avery's Experience with Fois Gras

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Eating foie gras
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Nausea experienced after a bad reaction
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Seeing or thinking about foie gras
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Nausea triggered by visual association with foie gras

    Case Study: Sabrina and Jasmine the Cat

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Eating the food
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Licking her chops after eating
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Snapping fingers
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Licking her chops in response to finger snap

    Key Takeaways

    • Classical conditioning illustrates how associations are formed between stimuli and responses.
    • Powerful emotional or physical experiences can lead to lasting aversions or reactions, often from a single event.
    • The importance of timing and repetition in establishing successful conditioning is highlighted through various examples.
