Study Notes
Classical Conditioning Concepts
- Classical Conditioning: A learning process that creates an association between two stimuli, resulting in a conditioned response.
Scenario: The Shower
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Hot water that causes discomfort.
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Pain resulting from extreme hot water.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Sound of toilet flushing that becomes associated with the hot water.
- Conditioned Response (CR): Jumping out of the shower upon hearing the toilet flush.
Scenario: Stop the Carousel I Want to Get Off
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Heat exceeding 100°F, leading to discomfort.
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Fainting due to extreme heat.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Carousel music associated with the experience.
- Conditioned Response (CR): Dizziness upon hearing carousel music after the event.
Scenario: When Good Tuna Goes Bad
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Spoiled mayonnaise that causes sickness.
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Getting sick after consuming contaminated food.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Mention of a tuna sandwich triggering a negative response.
- Conditioned Response (CR): Nausea experienced when thinking about tuna sandwiches.
Scenario: Kitties and Clickers
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Bright flash from the camera causing a reflex.
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Blinking in response to a bright flash.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Clicking sound associated with the flash.
- Conditioned Response (CR): Blinking in response to the clicking sound alone.
Scenario: Mmmm....Liver!!!
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Liver (Fois Gras) causing digestive discomfort.
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Nausea experienced after eating the dish.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Thinking about liver triggering nausea.
- Conditioned Response (CR): Feeling nauseous when merely considering eating liver.
Key Terms
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Stimulus that naturally elicits a response.
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Initially neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, elicits a conditioned response.
- Conditioned Response (CR): Learned response to a conditioned stimulus.
