Question | Answer |
---|---|
Pavlov was a | physiologist |
Pavlov won a | Nobel prize for dog digestion |
Pavlov accidently discovered | Classical conditioning |
Reflex | A behavior that is universally shown by all members of a species with very little conditioning. The behavior is adaptive for the environment. |
Classical conditioning | Exploits a pre-existing stimulus response reflex association in order to elicit a desired behavior. |
S | Stimulus |
R | Response |
Responses in classical conditioning | are unconditioned |
Elicit | will bring about |
UCS/US | Unconditioned stimulus |
* Unconditioned Stimulus | a stimulus that without conditions will elicit a predictable response |
UCR/UR | Unconditioned Response |
Unconditioned Response | A response that without conditions results predictably from an unconditioned stimulus |
NS | Neutral Stimulus |
Neurtal Stimulus | Stimulus that prior to conditioning produces no specific response |
CS | Conditional Stimulus |
Conditional Stimulus | A stimulus that will elicit a predictable response because of its previous pairing with a previously occurring reflex |
CR | Conditional Response |
Conditional Response | A predictable response to a stimulus that has influence because of its previously pairing with a previously occurring reflex |
Association happens as a result of | Learning |
Classical conditioning shows an association between | The conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response |
Basis Conditioning Phenomena | Acquisition, Extinction, Spontaneous Recovery, Disinhibition, Conditioned Inhibition, Generalization and Discrimination |
Aquisition | Occurs during the initial pairing of the CS(NS) and the UCS.; Gradual strengthening of the association |
Extinction | Can reduce the strength of the association by repeatedly presenting the conditioned stimulus (CS) without the Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) |
Spontaneous Recovery | Partial recovery or reappearance of he CS-UCS association after a period of time without trials |
Inhibition | An external event that interrupts or inhibits the conditioned response (CR) on a given trail |
Disinhibition | An external event that distracts during extinction so as to cause the conditioned response (CR) to occur even after it has been extinguished; Opposite of generalization |
Simultaneous conditioning | Conditioned Stimulus and Unconditioned stimulus occur at the same time for the same duration |
Trace conditioning | Conditioned stimulus occurs prior to the unconditioned stimulus, delay between offset of the conditioned stimulus and the onset of the unconditioned stimulus |
Short Delay stimulus conditioning | short delay between onset of the conditioned stimulus and the onset of the unconditioned stimulus offset is the same |
Backward conditioning | unconditioned stimulus occurs prior to the conditioned stimulus |
What form of conditioning works the best? | Short Delay |
What form of conditioning is least effecctive? | Backward |
Watson and little Albert | Laboratory conditioning of fear or phobic responses to everyday items |
Involuntary behaviors can be accounted for by? | Classical conditioning |
Emotional responses to most objects are a result of? | Classical conditioning |
Systematic desensitization | Exposure therapy |
Phobias | excessive or irrational fear of an object, place, or situation as a result of classical conditioning of an unrelated stimulus to a fear provoking event |
Aversive counter conditioning | Replacing a positive emotional response with a negative on |
