Ivan Pavlov Flashcards
Pavlov was investigating …
digestive processes in dogs.
Pavlov discovered that several of the animals in his experiment …
salivated not only in response to the taste, sight, or smell of meat powder but also when the meat powder was not present.
For example, these dogs soon began to salivate …
when they entered the experimental room or when they saw the experimenter.
Pavlov originally called this phenomenon …
“psychic secretion”.
Pavlov originally described this phenomenon as the result of …
mental activity.
However, he later rejected this subjective interpretation and redefined the phenomenon as a …
“conditioned reflex”
Pavlov eventually abandoned his work on _____________ and conducted a series of _________________________________________ to investigate _________________________.
digestion; well-controlled experiments; classical conditioning
In a typical experiment, Pavlov …
paired presentation of a tone or other neutral stimulus that did not produce salivation with the presentation of meat powder that naturally elicited salivation.
After several parings, …
presentation of the neutral stimulus alone produced a salivation response.
Pavlov called the stimulus that naturally elicited salivation the …
unconditioned stimulus (US).
Pavlov called salivation the …
unconditioned response (UR).
Pavlov labeled the neutral stimulus the …
conditioned stimulus (CS).
Pavlov labeled the salivation the NS produced after conditioning the …
conditioned response (CR).
In classical conditioning the responses are …
involuntary (automatic).
Other investigators subsequently established…
classically conditioned responses in other animals for a number of involuntary responses.
