Lesson 5-Classical Conditioning Flashcards
Regarding pairing in classical conditioning, it is the ____________ that makes the key difference as to whether conditioning occurs.
sequence (order)
What is contiguity (continguous)?
close in time
What is contingency?
One thing depends upon another.
Which factor is more important for classical conditioning … contiguity or contingency?
contingency
It is not only important that two stimuli are paired in time, but it matters what comes _________ and what brings about the __________________.
first; next thing
The most common approach to bring about classical conditioning is called …
Standard Pairing.
Standard Pairing is often referred to as …
Delay Conditioning.
In Standard Conditioning, what is presented first?
The NS
The NS is typically presented first in a ________ interval before the ________.
short; US
The _______ must come before the ________ for classical conditioning to occur.
NS/CS; US
In Pavlov’s classical experiment, the ______ came first and then the ______________.
tone; meat powder
After repeated pairing, the dog’s mind thinks the presentation of meat powder is ____________ upon the ringing of the tone.
contingent
Will classical conditioning occur if presented in reverse order (meat powder then tone)?
No
What is Trace Conditioning?
a type of classical conditioning in which the NS and US are presented separately with an interval of time in between.
What is Temporal Conditioning?
When a US is presented at a repeated time interval.
In Temporal Conditioning, the NS/CS is …
a point in time.
For example, a newborn animal at the zoo is given a bottle at 6am and 6pm. Shortly, …
the animal begins to get excited as the time for feeding approaches.
What is Simultaneous Conditioning?
When the NS and US are presented at the same time.
Is Simultaneous Conditioning effective?
No.
What is Backward Conditioning?
The US is presented before the NS.
Is Backward Conditioning effective?
No.
In Classical Conditioning, it is believed that there was always a _______, even if we don’t know what it was.
pairing
