Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning
A type of learning that occurs through the association of two stimuli, one that naturally elicits a response (unconditioned stimulus) and one that is initially neutral (conditioned stimulus).
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
The natural stimulus that elicits a reflex or automatic response without any prior learning.

Study Notes
Learning
- Learning is influenced by outcomes, past experiences, and reinforcement.
- Shaping, extinction, stimulus generalization, and discrimination are characteristics of learning.
- The ABC model (antecedent, behavior, consequence) describes how something happens, a behavioral response, and the consequence.
- Reinforcement can be immediate or delayed.
- Intermittent reinforcement schedules involve fixed ratio (number of responses), fixed interval (time), variable ratio (number of responses), and variable interval (time).
Classical Conditioning
- Pairing an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) with a neutral stimulus (NS) to evoke a conditioned response (CR) over time.
- Pavlov's research on digestion in dogs involved observing digestive responses to stimuli.
- Key terms include neutral stimulus, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response, extinction, and spontaneous recovery.
- Drops of saliva is a dependent variable.
Operant Conditioning
- B.F. Skinner's behavioral theory focused on how consequences shape behavior.
- Learning involves consequences (something happens, behavioral response, consequence).
Other Characteristics of Learning
- Positive reinforcement: Increasing responses by strengthening them.
- Negative reinforcement: Increasing responses by removing aversive stimuli.
- Punishment: Reducing the tendency to make a response.
- Negative punishment: Removal of a rewarding stimulus.
- Observational learning: Learning by observing others' behaviors and consequences.
- Role modeling is important.
- Cognitive factors (knowledge, expectations, attitudes)
- Environmental factors (social norms, influences from others)
- Behavioral factors (skills, practice, self-efficacy) are also significant.
Thought and Language
- Thought and language are highly interrelated.
- Language is used to express thoughts and communicate.
- Language involves abilities for communication and cognition, including the expression and conveyance of thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and emotions.
- Language is a unique human capacity.
- Biologically predestined yet learned.
- Different levels of language system exist.
- Interplay in nature and nurture.
- The process of acquiring language is influenced by biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
PTSD and Substance Use
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often triggered by traumatic exposure (death, threatened death, serious injury, or threat of sexual violence).
- Substance use disorders (SUDs) can be a consequence of dealing with trauma exposure and increase anxiety and arousal reactions.
- A causal model proposes that substance use can result in high-risk behavior, increasing the risk of trauma exposure; thus, creating a cycle that intensifies both PTSD and SUD.
- Increased prevalence, risk of operational stress injuries, unique risks to corrective workers, increased prevalence of substance abuse, and a lack of social support are significant issues to consider.
Mental Health Stigmatization
- Mental health stigmatization involves prejudice and discrimination toward individuals with mental illness.
- Public stigma occurs when individuals believe negative stereotypes about individuals who seek mental health services.
- Self-stigma is when an individual internalizes negative public stigma toward mental health individuals .
- Label avoidance happens when people with mental health problems are reluctant to get the help they need because of stigma.
- Sequentail and integrated models of treatment provide options for addressing stigma.
