Pavlov Flashcards
experiments (conditioned)
Found that dogs salivate-began prematurely at sight of food dish or sight of person that gives the food, in anticipation-psychic secretions
Unconditioned response
unlearned naturally occurring response to stim-salivate when have food in mouth
Unconditioned stimulus
automatically triggers response-the food
Conditioned stimulus
triggers conditioned response after being paired repeatedly with unconditioned stim, ringing of the bell
Conditioned response
learned response to previously neutral stim, salivate in response to bell
principles of conditioning
discrimination and generalization
Discrimination
can preceptually tease apart two stimuli-animals learn the difference
generalization
stimuli that are similar to conditioned stim produce a conditioned response
experimental neurosis
procedure used to make lab dogs go crazy, circular object followed by reward of food, elliptical object paired with punishment of shock, ellipse to circle ratio made dogs go crazy-conflicting environmental stimuli—>neurosis
all behavior is
reflexive
no such thing as
the mind-relation between environment, stimuli in environment and behavioral responses all of our behaviors are initiated by environmental stimuli-dont come from any internal causes(thoughts feelings)
