Chapter 4 classical Conditioning BASIC CONDITIONING PHENOMENA Flashcards
The process of strengthening a conditioned response through repeated pairings of an NS with a US. Is known as ________
In general conditioning proceeds more _______ during the early trials of a conditioning procedure
Acquisition
Rapidly
The maximum amount of learning that can take place in a given situation is known as the ________ of learning
Asymptote
In general a ________ intense US produces better condition inning
More
In general a ________ intense NS produces better conditioning
More
In the process of extinction a conditioned response grows weaker because….
The conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly in the absence of the US
The procedure of extinction involves…..
Presenting the CS without the US
Once the CR has been extinguished requisition if that response tends to occur ________ rapidly than the original conditioning
More
The sudden recovery of an extinguished repose following some delay after extinction is knos as _______ _________
Spontaneous recovery
With repeated sessions of extinction each time a repose recovers it is usually _______ and extinguishes more _______
Weaker
Quickly but
Pavlov believed that this phenomenon indicated that extinction involved the _____ of a conditioned response
Inhibition
The sudden recovery of a response during an extinction procedure when a novel stimulus is introduced is called _______
Disinhibition
Stimulus generalisation is the tendency for a ____ to occur in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the original ______
In general the more ______ the stimulus us the stronger the response
CR
CS
SIMILAR
The generalisation of a conditioned response to stimuli that are similar in meaning to a verbal CS is called ________ generalisation
Semantic
The opposite of stimulus generalisation is stimulus ________ this can be defined as
Discrimination
The tendency for a response to be elicited more by one stimulus than another
Feeling anxious around all objects that look like a rattle snake is an example of stimulus ________ whereas feeling anxious only around rattlesnakes is an example of stimulus ________
Generalisation
Distinction
Suppose cart dislikes his physics instructor and as a result came to dislike all science instructions this is an example that illustrates the process of ________
overgeneralisation
What occurs in discrimination training?
2900Hz becomes CS+ as it is paired with food = salivation
2800Hz becomes CS- presented with no food = no salivation
In shenger-krestovnikova’s experiment the animal suffered a nervous breakdown when epodes to CS+ and a CS- that were made progressively _________ similar
More
Pavlov referee to this nervous breakdown as _________ n_______,_! Experimentally produced disorder in which animals exposed to _________ events develo _______ like symptoms
Experimental neurosis
Unpredictable
Neurotic
Pavlov believed that these differences between dogs reflected ______ differences in ________
Inherited
