Approaches Flashcards
What is classical conditioning?
All animals are born with natural reflexes such as salivation when food comes. This is a natural stimulus and a natural response. When other stimuli are added such as a bell when food comes, it can create the same outcome such as salivating when the bell is rung but the food doesn’t come providing the conditioned response.
Pavlova research
- 1927
- found classical conditioning
What’s a natural stimulus and response
Unconditioned stimulus and response which is natural
What’s the neutral stimulus?
What is paired before the unconditioned stimulus. After they have been paired a number of times the neutral stimulus can then produce the same outcome.
What happens once the neutral stimulus can cause the same response without the UCR?
The unconditioned stimulus is now the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response is now the conditioned response.
