Classical Conditioning

Question 1

What does it mean when learning by conditioning?

Answer 1

association made between the stimulus and response

Question 2

What is classical conditioning?

Answer 2

when a neutral stimulus is paired with a stimulus that produces an involuntary response until the neutral stimulus then produces the same response by itself

Question 3

What is a stimulus?

Answer 3

variable that may trigger a response

Question 4

What is a response?

Answer 4

action or behaviour to the stimulus

Question 5

What is involved in the first phase of classical conditioning?

Answer 5

• Neutral Stimulus produces no response

- Unconditioned Stimulus produces an unconditioned response

Question 6

What does the second phase consist of in classical conditioning?

Answer 6

Neutral Stimulus is paired with the unconditioned stimulus which then produces the unconditioned response
- the pairing is repeated together several times

Question 7

What is involved in the 3rd phase of classical conditioning?

Answer 7

• Neutral Stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus
• Unconditioned response becomes the conditioned response
• Conditioned Stimulus produces the conditioned response

Question 8

What is the 1st phase called?

Answer 8

Before Conditioning

Question 9

During conditioning is known as what phase?

Answer 9

2nd phase

Question 10

What is the final phase of classical conditioning?

Answer 10

After conditioning

Question 11

What is a neutral stimulus?

Answer 11

stimulus that produces no response

Question 12

What is an unconditioned stimulus?

Answer 12

any stimulus that causes an involuntary response

Question 13

What is an unconditioned response?

Answer 13

the response that occurs due to the UCS

Question 14

What is a conditioned stimulus?

Answer 14

stimulus that was once neutral but now produces the CR

- does not normally produce the unconditioned response

Question 15

What is a conditioned response?

Answer 15

the learned response as a result of the CS

Question 16

What famous scientist is associated with Classical Conditioning?

Answer 16

Ivan Pavlov

Question 17

What was the famous experiment?

Answer 17

Pavlov’s dog = where he had a dog who learned to salivate at the sound of a bell

Question 18

What is acquisition?

Answer 18

process where someone learns to associate two events = the CS and UCS

Question 19

What does extinction refer to in classical conditioning?

Answer 19

when the CS is constantly presented without the UCS and eventually the CR no longer occurs

Question 20

What does stimulus generalization refer to in classical conditioning?

Answer 20

when someone will produce the same CR to a stimulus that is similar to the CS

Question 21

What is stimulus discrimination?

Answer 21

when someone only responds to the CS and no other stimulus

Question 22

What is spontaneous recovery?

Answer 22

reappearance of the CR after a period of extinction

Question 23

What is aversion therapy?

Answer 23

application of classical conditioning where a person associates an unwanted behaviour with an unpleasant event
