    Study Notes

    Classical Conditioning Concepts

    • Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A stimulus that comes to predict another stimulus that is biologically important, leading to a reflexive response.
    • Unconditioned Stimulus (US): An intrinsically meaningful stimulus that naturally elicits a response without prior learning. In Pavlov's experiment, meat powder served this role.
    • Unconditioned Response (UR): An automatic and unlearned reaction to the unconditioned stimulus, such as salivation in response to meat powder.
    • Conditioned Response (CR): A learned response to the conditioned stimulus after it has been paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

    Extinction and Recovery

    • Extinction: The process in which the conditioned response diminishes following the removal of the unconditioned stimulus.
    • Spontaneous Recovery: A partial recovery in the strength of the conditioned response after a period of rest following extinction.

    Discrimination and Generalization

    • Discrimination: The ability to differentiate between similar stimuli, where only stimuli closely resembling the conditioned stimulus evoke the conditioned response.
    • Generalization: The tendency for the conditioned response to occur in response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus.

    Biological Preparedness and Salience

    • Biological Preparedness: The concept that organisms are predisposed to learn certain associations more easily, especially those important for survival.
    • Salience: The principle that more intense stimuli are learned about more quickly than less intense stimuli, leading to stronger associations.

    Emotional and Advertising Applications

    • Conditioned Emotional Response: Emotional reactions that are learned through conditioning, often undergoing associations with certain stimuli.
    • Use in Advertising: Celebrities serve as unconditioned stimuli to evoke positive feelings, which are then transferred to products (conditioned stimuli) through repeated pairings.

    Definitions and Abbreviations

    • CS: Abbreviation for Conditioned Stimulus.
    • US/UCS: Abbreviation for Unconditioned Stimulus.
    • UR/UCR: Abbreviation for Unconditioned Response.
    • CR: Abbreviation for Conditioned Response.
    • Acquisition: The process by which a conditioned response starts to occur when the conditioned stimulus is consistently paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
