(Chpt.5) Flashcards
Novelty of CS and US
Familiarity of the CS and US will have an impact on subsequent learning of an CS-US association
tone and food
Latent inhibition (look @notes)

Effective CS and US
Salience refers to the significance or noticeability of the stimulus the more salient a CS or US is the better the learni
ing
Reciprocal Overshadowing
When 2 stimuli are paired together each one will inhibit learning about the other if the stimuli differ in salience then we will see better conditioning to the more salient stimulus
AB+
Effective CS and USI
it is not always necessary to have a US for associates to form
Higher Order Conditioning

Stage 1 CS1 -> US

Second order conditioning
1.Metronome (CS) -> Food (US) -> Salvation (UR)
2.Second Order Stimulus Black Square (second order stimulus)->Metronome (CS)-> Salvation (CR)

xxx
Associative Strength is a theoretical construct the is proportional to the level of conditioned responding that is expected to occur to a stimulus.
True
A conditioned inhibitor has ___ associative strength (postive/negative)
negative
Pre exposure event
Non-reinforced pre-exposure of a CS will ___ learning of an excitatory conditioned response to that same CS
Retard (slow down)
Latent Inhibition and the US pre-exposure effect produce the same behavioral outcome
True
In latent inhibition, the CS is pre-exposed in the absence of the US. In US pre-exposure, the __ is pre-exposed in the absence of the __.
US,CS
