classical conditioning Flashcards
backwards conditioning
a procedure in which the conditioned stimulus is presented shortly after the unconditioned stimulus on each trial
compound-stimulus test
a test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibitor if that stimulus reduces the responding elicited by a conditioned excitatory stimulus .
conditioned response
the response that comes to be made to the conditioned stimulus as a result of the classical conditioning
conditioned stimulus
a stimulus that does not elicit a particular response initially, but comes to do so as a result of becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus
conditioned suppression
suppression of ongoing behavior produced but the presentation of a conditioned stimulus that has been conditioned to elicit fear through association with aversion unconditioned stimulus
probability of a response
the likelihood of making the response, usually represented in terms of the percentage of trials on which the response occurs
conditioning trial
a training episode involving presentation of a conditioned stimulus with or without a unconditioned stimulus
pseudo-conditioning
increased responding that may occur to a stimulus whose presentations are intermixed with presentations of an unconditioned stimulus in the absence of the establishment of an association between the stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus
conditioned stimulus-unconditioned stimulus interval
the amount of time that elapses between two successive trials.
retardation of acquisition test
a test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibition if that stimulus is slower to acquire excitatory propertied than a comparison stimulus
goal tracking
conditioned behavior elicited by a conditioned stimulus that consists of approaching the location where the unconditioned stimulus is usually presented
inhibitory conditioning
a type of classical conditioning in which the conditioned stimulus become a signal for the absence of the unconditioned stimulus
sign tracking
movement toward and possibly contact with a stimulus that signals the availability of a positive reinforcer, such as food
short-delayed conditioning
a classical conditioning procedure in which the conditioned stimulus is initiated shortly before the unconditioned stimulus on each conditioning trial
latency
the time elapsed between a stimulus and the response that is made to the stimulus
long-delayed conditioning
a conditioning procedure in which the unconditioned stimulus occurs more than several minutes after the start of the conditioned stimulus (think taste aversion)
object learning
learning associations between different stimulus features of an object, such as what it looks like and how it tastes
trace conditioning
a classical conditioning procedure in which the unconditioned stimulus in presented after the conditioned stimulus has been terminated for a short period
trace interval
the intervals between the end of the conditioned stimulus and the start of the unconditioned stimulus in the trace-conditioning trials
magnitude of a response
a measure of the size, vigor or extent of a response
unconditional response
a response that occurs to a stimulus without the necessity of prior training
object learning
learning associations between different stimulus features of an object , such as what it looks like and how it tastes
interstimulus intervals
the amount of time that elapses between the start of the conditioned stimulus and the start of the unconditioned stimulus during a classical conditioning trail
intertrial interval
the amount of time that elapses between two successive trials
habituation, sensitization, and classical condition
the similarities in among habituation, sensitization and classical conditioning lie in the way that stimulus inform reactions. for the most part habituation and sensitization involve leaning about just one stimulus when classical conditioning can include several stimulus. Studies looking at habituation and sensitization focused mostly on the effects that of prior exposure to the stimulus
conventional conditioning vs object learning
learning associations between different stimulus features of an object
why its difficult to identify different types of conditioning
depending on the procedure used, learning may occur quickly or slowly. with certain procedures
bidirectional response system
identification of an opposing response tendency is easy with response systems that can change in opposite directions fro baseline or normal performance.. certain behaviors are also bidirectional…conditioned ,
control procedure for excitatory conditioning ….processes that control procedure rules
control procedure are required to determine whether responses that develop to a conditioned stimulus represent a genuine cCS-US associations rather than just pseudo-conditioning
