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.
