    Study Notes

    Classical Conditioning

    • Simple learning process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with another stimulus to elicit a response
    • Also known as "respondent conditioning"

    Key Terms

    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): Does not initially elicit a response
    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Naturally elicits a response without prior learning
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): Automatic, unlearned response to the US
    • Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Previously neutral stimulus that, after repeated pairings with the US, elicits the UR.
    • Conditioned Response (CR): Learned response to the CS, similar to the UR

    Pavlov's Dogs

    • Pavlov's experiment demonstrated classical conditioning while studying salivation in dogs.
    • Dogs LEARNED to salivate at the sound of a tone (CS) because it was repeatedly paired with the presentation of meat powder (UCS).
    • The tone (CS) became associated with the meat powder (UCS), leading to the salivation response (CR).

    Contributions of Ivan Pavlov

    • Discovered that reflexes, which are typically unlearned, can be learned through association.
    • Classical conditioning principle allows for understanding how new behaviors are learned through associations between stimuli.

    Description

    Explore the key concepts of classical conditioning, a fundamental learning process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a learned response. Delve into the contributions of Ivan Pavlov, including his famous experiment with dogs and their salivation response. Test your understanding of key terms and processes associated with this essential psychological concept.
