Study Notes
Theories of Conditioned Learning and Contextual Influence
- Familiar spaces can reduce the development of fear when threatened.
- Chemotherapy can lead to aversion to a novel taste paired with sickness; familiar tastes result in weaker aversions.
- Comparative theories compare the likelihood of CS-US occurring together versus the US occurring without the CS.
- Incremental learning focuses on overall history rather than step-by-step learning.
- Learning occurs even if the stimulus doesn't display an obvious behavioral response.
- Comparator theories propose that both stimuli form associations, affecting the subject's performance at tests.
- Ricola Wagner Theory assumes an extra level of cognition and doesn't predict on a trial-by-trial basis.
- Weakening the primary CS-US association can unmask the second CS-US association, affecting conditioned response.
- Conditioned stimuli can be discrete cues at specific intervals, while contextual stimuli are constant environmental cues.
- Contextual stimuli and CS can acquire equal excitatory strength when equally paired with the US.
- Context plays a vital role in addiction, as demonstrated by Vietnam soldiers' addiction patterns.
- Context determines physiological responses to drugs, affecting tolerance and the drug's effects.
