NS= Bell
UCS= Food
UCR= Salivation at food
CS= Bell
CR= Salivation at bell

Question 10

Name the four classical condition processes

Answer 10

1. stimulus generalisation
2. stimulus discrimination
3. extinction
4. spontaneous Recovery

Question 11

When does a stimulus fall into Stimulus Generalization. (‘when a stimulus —– )Give an example

Answer 11

when a stimulus simlar to a Conditioned stimulus triggers a conditioned response.
eg. generalising fear of duck to all birds

Question 12

What is stimulus discrimination? (when you only respond —–) one example.

Answer 12

when you ONLY responds to the Conditioned stimulus and not any similar stimulus.
eg. you fear pitbulls but no other breed.

Question 13

Answer 13

gradual decrease in the legnth or rate of a Conditioned response (salivation) when Unconditioned Stimiulus ()is no longer present.

What happens during Spontaneous Recovery?

Answer 14

reappearance of Conditioned response when Conditioned Stimulus is present after a period of extinction
