Classical Conditioning - Ian Pavlov

Question 1

Pavlos dogs

Answer 1

Conducted experiment to see whether a bell could induce salivation by associating it with food.

1) UCS, food = UCR, salivation
2) NS, bell = NO CR, no salivation
3) NS, bell + UCS, food = UCR, saliva
4) CS, bell = CR, salivation

Question 2

Classical conditioning

Answer 2

Refers to the process of learning through association. (Stimulus = response).

Question 3

Extinction

Answer 3

• When the cs no longer leads to a cr
• Occurs when the ucs is no longer presented with the cs so cr goes.
• This doesn’t mean behaviour is in learnt, just dormant

Question 4

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 4

After extinction it may occur

Question 5

Main features

Answer 5

• Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) = unconditioned response (UCR)
• Neutral stimulus (NS) = no response
• NS + UCS = UCR
• Conditioned stimulus (CS) = conditioned response (CR)
