Classical Conditioning
-
Key Psychologists
Ivan Pavlov
For Pavlov, the key variable in associative learning was the number of times the CS was paired with the US.
As the number of pairings increases, the strength of the association between CS and US increases.
-
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) - A stimulus that invariably causes an organism to responds in a specific way
Unconditioned response (UCR) - A response that takes place in an organisms whenever an unconditioned stimulus occurs
-
-
Acquisition - refers to the first stages of learning when a response is established. In classical conditioning, it refers to the period of time when the stimulus comes to evoke the conditioned response.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) - An originally neutral stimulus that is paired with an unconditioned stimulus an eventually produces the desired response in an organism when presented alone.
Conditioned Response (CR) - After conditioning, the response an organism produces when only a conditioned stimulus is presented.
-
Stimulus Discrimination - learning to respond to only one stimulus and to inhibit the response to all other stimuli.
Extinction - Extinction is a decrease in the strength or frequency of a learned response because of no longer pairing the US and CS
Spontaneous Recovery - reappearance of an extinguished response after the passage of time, without further conditioning
