Flashcards

Unconditioned Stimulus

A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response, without prior learning.

Neutral Stimulus

A stimulus that initially does not elicit any response, but becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus through learning.

Unconditioned Response

The natural, involuntary response to an unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes capable of eliciting a conditioned response.

Study Notes

Classical Conditioning

  • Unconditioned Stimulus: Food presented initially triggers a natural response.
  • Neutral Stimulus: The bell rings without the food initially, does not elicit a response.
  • Unconditioned Response: Dog salivates when food is presented without any prior conditioning.
  • Conditioned Stimulus: After pairing the bell with food, the bell itself becomes a stimulus that can elicit a response.
  • Conditioned Response: The dog's salivation response occurs when the bell rings alone after conditioning.
  • Acquisition: The learning phase where the dog associates the bell with food over repeated pairings.
  • Extinction: Occurs when the conditioned stimulus (bell) is presented without the unconditioned stimulus (food), leading to a decrease in salivation.
  • Spontaneous Recovery: After extinction, presenting the bell with food again can reinstate the conditioned response.
  • Stimulus Generalization: Dog salivates to similar stimuli, such as a whistle, demonstrating a broadened response to other sounds.
  • Stimulus Discrimination: Dog does not salivate when hearing a whistle, indicating the ability to distinguish between different stimuli.

Operant Conditioning

  • Instrumental Conditioning: Refers to operant conditioning, where behavior is modified through rewards or punishments.
  • Two Process Theory: Combines aspects of classical conditioning and operant conditioning to explain learning and behavior.
  • Positive Reinforcement: The addition of a rewarding stimulus, like a paycheck for going to work, encourages the behavior.
  • Negative Reinforcement: Removal of an unpleasant stimulus, such as avoiding speaking with the boss, reinforces the act of going to work.
  • Positive Punishment: Adding an unpleasant stimulus occurs when not going to work results in a confrontation with the boss.
  • Negative Punishment: The removal of a positive stimulus, such as losing pay for missing work, discourages the behavior of absence.
