Study Notes
Classical Conditioning (Pavlov)
- Ivan Pavlov, a physiologist, discovered classical conditioning.
- Pavlov's research focused on the digestive system of dogs.
- He noticed dogs would salivate in response to stimuli associated with food.
- This observation led to the development of the concept of conditioned reflexes.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response. (e.g., food)
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): The naturally occurring response to the UCS. (e.g., salivation)
- Neutral Stimulus (NS): A stimulus that initially does not trigger a response. (e.g., a bell)
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired repeatedly with the UCS, now triggers a response. (e.g., the bell after pairing with food)
- Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to the CS. (e.g., salivation after hearing the bell)
- Pavlov's work demonstrated that learning involves associations between stimuli.
- Learning occurred through repeated pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
- Neutral stimuli can become conditioned stimuli through association.
Key Terms (Classical Conditioning)
- Neutral Stimulus: A stimulus that initially does not produce a response.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): The naturally occurring response to the UCS.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired repeatedly with the UCS, now triggers a response.
- Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to the CS.
Operant Conditioning vs Classical Conditioning
- Both focus on cause and consequence of action.
- Operant conditioning looks at how responses from the environment (the result of behavior) are caused by the action after the behavior.
- Classical conditioning looks at how factors before a behavior impact a decision or action.
