basic conditioning effects

Question 1

acquisition

Answer 1

the development of the conditioned response (CR) when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with the unconditioned stimulus (US)

Question 2

factors that influence pavlovian conditioning

Answer 2

salience of the CS
US intensity
Temporal Spacing

Question 3

define salience of CS

Answer 3

the more vivid the CS, the faster the animal with learn the association
very loud works faster

Question 4

define US intensity

Answer 4

the more intense the US, the faster the rate of learning with be
sicker you feel=better association

Question 5

define temporal spacing

Answer 5

the degree of association depends on the timing of the CS and US presentation.
conguanty- how close the things happen

Question 6

types of temporal spacing

Answer 6

delayed conditioning- best learning
trace conditioning- okay
simultaneous conditioning- poor
backwards conditioning- poor

Question 7

stimulus generalization

Answer 7

organisms will not only respond to trained stimulus, but to other similar stimulus
ex- little albert

Question 8

generalization gradient

Answer 8

the less similar the stimulus is to the training stimulus, the less vigorous the response will be

Question 9

generalization decrement

Answer 9

the decrement in the response when the stimulus is changed

Question 10

define summation

Answer 10

two separate stimulus are conditioned separately to elect the same CR, the intensity of the response will be double when the two stimuli are presented together

Question 11

define second order conditioning

Answer 11

a new stimulus (CS2), when paired with and established stimulus (CS1) that already has CR, will also begin to elicit the conditioned response
