classical conditioning

Question 1

classical conditioning

Answer 1

a form of learning when a stimulus doesn’t create a response is repeatedly linked with a stimulus that does create a response. This can lead to the stimulus that originally had no response, having a response similar to the one the second stimulus would have.

For example
A dog is classically conditioned to know when it’s time for them to go on a walk. If their owner gets home after work and jingles their keys when they drop them on the counter, then proceeds to bring out the lead, the lead will have a response but before classical conditioning occurs, the keys jingling won’t. When classical conditioning has occurred, the keys jingling will initiate a response due to classical conditioning has occurred.

Question 2

neutral stimulus

Answer 2

the neutral stimulus is the stimulus that originally initiates no response naturally.

( keys jingling isn’t creating a response of walks for the dog ).

Question 3

Unconditioned stimulus

Answer 3

the stimuli that initiates a response

( the lead showing that it’s time for walks ).

Question 4

Unconditioned Response

Answer 4

The response induced by the UCS that in not learnt

( wagging tail due to the knowledge the dog has of going on a walk ).

Question 5

Conditioned Stimulus

Answer 5

The previous Neutral stimulus, however, is now initiating a response.

Question 6

Conditioned Response

Answer 6

A response produced by the CS, but is the same as the response to the UCS.

Question 7

Acquisition

Answer 7

the person will start to associate the NS with the UCS

Question 8

Extinction

Answer 8

when the frequency of the response decreases due to the stimulus maintaining the behavior has gone.

Question 9

Stimulus generalisation

Answer 9

similar stimuli producing the same response

Question 10

Stimulus discrimination

Answer 10

responding to one CS and no other stimuli deemed similar.

Question 11

Spontaneous Recovery

Answer 11

the reappearance of a response to a stimulus after a long period of time where a response didn’t occur.

Question 12

Before conditioning

Answer 12

this is where the neutral stimulus will not present any response

Question 13

During conditioning

Answer 13

this is where the neutral stimulus is associated automatically followed by the unconditioned stimulus

Question 14

After conditioning

Answer 14

the neutral stimulus is now the conditioned stimulus and produces a response.

Question 15

factors on classical conditioning

Answer 15

• passive
• involuntary

Question 16

pavolov’s dogs

Answer 16

• occurred in the 1900’s
• conditioned a dog to salivate when a bell rung which meant food was on the way.

NS- The ringing sound of a bell
UCS- Food
UCR- Salivation
CS- The ringing of a bell
CR- Salivation

NS- The ringing sound of a bell
UCS- Food
UCR- Salivation
