Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, studied digestion and discovered classical conditioning
- Classical conditioning is a learning process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a significant stimulus, eliciting a similar response
- In Pavlov's experiments, dogs initially salivated only to food (unconditional stimulus) leading to an unconditional response.
- Repeated pairing of a neutral stimulus (e.g., a bell) with food eventually caused the bell (conditioned stimulus) to elicit salivation (conditioned response)
- Key terms:
- Unconditional stimulus (UCS): A stimulus naturally and automatically triggers a response.
- Unconditional response (UCR): The naturally occurring response to the UCS.
- Conditioned stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after association with the UCS, elicits a conditioned response.
- Conditioned response (CR): The learned response to a previously neutral stimulus (CS) that occurs after association with the UCS.
Pavlov's Experiment
- Pavlov measured dog's saliva in response to different stimuli
- Initially, no saliva was produced when a bell was rung
- Through repeated pairings of a bell with food, salivation occurred in response to the bell alone later on.
Four Components of Classical Conditioning
- Unconditional stimulus: Food
- Unconditional response: Salivation to the food
- Conditional stimulus: Bell
- Conditional response: Salivation to the bell
Temporal Sequence in Classical Conditioning
- Temporal sequence refers to the time relationship between the conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (UCS).
- Different types of temporal sequences exist including:
- Simultaneous conditioning
- Delayed conditioning
- Trace conditioning
- Backward conditioning
Extinction
- Extinction occurs when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), causing the conditioned response (CR) to weaken and eventually disappear.
Spontaneous Recovery
- Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a period of rest.
Stimulus Generalization
- Stimulus generalization is the tendency for stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus (CS) to elicit a conditioned response (CR).
Stimulus Discrimination
- Stimulus discrimination is the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and other stimuli that are not associated with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS).
Higher-Order Conditioning
- Higher-order conditioning (second-order conditioning) occurs when a new neutral stimulus is paired with a conditioned stimulus (CS), eventually eliciting a conditioned response (CR).
