Q

What does the second phase consist of in classical conditioning?

A

- the pairing is repeated together several times

Q

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

A

Q

What famous scientist is associated with Classical Conditioning?

A

Ivan Pavlov

17
Q

What was the famous experiment?

A

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

18
Q

What is acquisition?

A

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

19
Q

What does extinction refer to in classical conditioning?

A

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

20
Q

What does stimulus generalization refer to in classical conditioning?

A

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

21
Q

What is stimulus discrimination?

A

when someone only responds to the CS and no other stimulus

22
Q

What is spontaneous recovery?

A

reappearance of the CR after a period of extinction

23
Q

What is aversion therapy?

A

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