Study Notes
Classical Conditioning and Behavioral Responses
- Classical conditioning involves appetitive and aversive stimuli, with the former requiring more acquisition trials and the latter being established more quickly due to high intensity.
- Pavlov's Stimulus Substitution Theory suggests that the conditioned stimulus becomes a substitute for the unconditioned stimulus, creating a neural association between the two.
- Jenkins and Moore's 1973 study provided evidence for the stimulus substitution theory using conditioned pigeons and a light as the conditioned stimulus.
- Sign trackers are attracted to the conditioned stimulus, while goal trackers focus on the outcome or reward itself in classical conditioning experiments.
- Sign tracking behavior can provide insights into addictive behaviors, as environmental cues associated with rewards can strongly influence behaviors, potentially leading to compulsive behaviors and addictions.
- Instances where the conditioned response differs from the unconditioned response contradict the stimulus substitution theory, leading to the development of the Preparatory Response Theory.
- Stimulus generalization is the tendency to respond to similar but not identical stimuli, while stimulus discrimination is the learned ability to respond differently to similar stimuli.
- Classical conditioning involves various elements including the neutral stimulus, unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response.
- Theories of classical conditioning include the stimulus substitution hypothesis, the preparatory response theory, and the compensatory response model.
- Classical conditioning concepts like stimulus generalization and discrimination are crucial in understanding the process.
- Classical conditioning has implications for understanding addictive behaviors and the development of compulsive behaviors and addictions.
- Pavlov's dog experiment and Jenkins and Moore's study are key examples used to illustrate classical conditioning theories and concepts.
