Classical Term of Learning - stimulus-stimulus associative learning

Question 1

What is classical learning also known as

Answer 1

Pavlovian Learning

Question 2

What is an unconditional stimulus

Answer 2

the stimulus that elicits the response before conditioning occurs.

Question 3

what is the unconditioned response

Answer 3

a natural response that is elicited by a stimulus before (or in the absence of) conditioning.

Question 4

conditioned stimulus (CS)

Answer 4

An initially neutral stimulus (like a bell, light, or tone) that elicits a conditioned response after it has been associated with an unconditioned stimulus

Question 5

Conditioned response

Answer 5

The response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus after classical conditioning has taken place

Question 6

Fear conditioning

Answer 6

the conditioned stimulus is associated with an aversive unconditioned stimulus, like a foot shock. as a result, the CS will now evoke fear.

Question 7

Taste aversion conditioning

Answer 7

when a taste is paired with sickness, and this causes the organism to dislike that taste in the future

Question 8

Blocking

Answer 8

if an unconditioned stimulus is combined with a previously conditioned stimulus during conditioning trials, nothing will happen (no conditioning)

Question 9

Prediction error

Answer 9

when what happens in a conditioning trial is diff from what is predicted by the conditioned stimuli that are present. It’s necessary to pavlovian learning. The more learning that happens in the more trials, the less the prediction error occurs

Question 10

Extinction

Answer 10

Decrease in the strength of a learned behavior that occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus
