Study Notes
Conditioning Types
- Backward Conditioning: involves the intended CS beginning and ending before the US is introduced.
- Simultaneous Conditioning: involves the intended CS and US overlapping, with the US introduced before the CS disappears.
Factors Affecting Learning
- According to Robert Rescorla's research, the amount of learning in Pavlovian conditioning is affected by the contingency between the CS and US.
Key Concepts
- Contiguity: the degree to which two stimuli occur together in space or time.
- Importance of pairing CS and US closely: to establish a strong association between the two stimuli.
Learning and Reflexes
- Necessary cause of learning: the pairing of the CS and US.
- Main focus of Ivan Pavlov's work: the study of reflexes.
- Unconditional Reflex: an unlearned, automatic response to a stimulus, such as salivating when seeing food.
- Conditional Reflex: a learned response to a stimulus, such as salivating when hearing a bell ring.
Classical Conditioning
- Defined by Pavlov as a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit an unconditioned response.
Higher-Order Conditioning
- A process in which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through repeated pairing with a conditioned stimulus.
Measuring Conditioning
- Conditioning is measured by the strength of the conditioned response to the conditioned stimulus.

Description
Test your knowledge on Ivan Pavlov's research on reflex actions of the salivary glands and the concept of classical conditioning. Explore how experience can change the actions of glands and lead to anticipatory responses.
