Study Notes
Eyeblink Conditioning and Pavlovian Conditioning: Key Concepts and Applications
- Engram is the neurobiological representation and storage of learned information in the brain
- Hippocampus is essential for consciously remembering recent events
- Eyeblink conditioning involves the brainstem and cerebellum, and is studied using electrical recording techniques
- Hippocampus is crucial for complex delayed forms of learning and is required when the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli have a delay of more than 0.5 seconds
- Sign tracking (autoshaping) involves movement towards a stimulus that signals availability of a positive reinforcer, while goal tracking involves approaching the location where the unconditioned stimulus is usually presented
- Genetics play a role in sign tracking, with high locomotor responses and higher susceptibility to drug addiction being associated with sign trackers
- Taste preferences and aversions are learned through either positive or aversive consequences, such as food poisoning, and can occur independently of rational thought
- Laboratory studies have shown that rats can develop aversions to food consumed before receiving chemotherapy, contributing to loss of appetite
- Classical conditioning procedures include short-delayed, trace, delay, long-delayed, simultaneous, and backward conditioning
- Control procedures for classical conditioning include pseudo-conditioning, random control, and explicitly unpaired control
- Different types of conditioning involve distinct behavioral and neural mechanisms, such as trace conditioning activating different mechanisms than delayed conditioning
- Inhibitory conditioning involves the prediction of the absence of the unconditioned stimulus, and unpredictability increases fear response, while short breaks from unpredictable stress can help reduce stress
