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.
