lecture 8 Flashcards
experiment procedure examining whether previous CONDITIONING with a particular CS mattes
stage 1- a CS (CS-A) is paired with a US using an effective procedure-delay conditioning
stage 2- a CS-A and another CS-B is presented together with the US in stage 1
does using CS-A in stage 1 have an effect on whether CR’S to CS-B are acquired in stage 2
after training a test is given that consists of CS-B presented alone
CS-B fails to elicit a CR at test
prior experience of CS-A - US relationship
BlOCKS subsequent learning of the CS-B-US relationship when CS-A is present
PREVIOUS CONDITIONING MATTERS
experiment procedure examine whether previous EXPERIENCE with the stimulus used as a CS matter
stage 1 - a conditional stimulus (CS) is presented on its own (no US)
STAGE 2- follows stage 1 and involves using the stimulus in stage 1 as the CS
Does using the stimulus in stage 1 have an effect on whether CR’S are acquired in stage 2 after training
after training a test is given that consists of CS presented alone
control group - not pre-exposed to CS
experimental group exposed to
stage 1 - CS only
stage 2 - CS+US
test - CS
control group exposed to
stage 1 - no stimuli
stage 2- CS+US
test-CS
results of experiment procedure examine whether previous EXPERIENCE with the stimulus used as a CS matter
CS fails to elicit a CR at test
control group results
CS elicits a CR
US must come
after the CS in order for CR to be acquired
not too soon or too long after
if a stimulus is FAMILIAR it is
in effective when used as a CS in a conditioning procedure
paired is not sufficient
US-UR reflex is a
pre existing innate reflex
CS-CR reflex is
an acquired reflex
but its not generally true
sufficiency
if the US and CS are paired then a CR will be acquired - nothing else is needed other than the pairing
different ways in which the CS and US can be presented together
simultaneous
trace
delay
backward
