Pavlovian Conditioning

Question 1

Elicited

Answer 1

An involuntary response

Question 2

Unconditional reflex

Answer 2

Inborn and permanent reflex - salvation happens when we put food in our mouths. consist of US and UR

Question 3

Conditional reflex

Answer 3

Acquired through learning. Consists of CS and CR

Question 4

Unconditional stimulus (US)

Answer 4

Food

Question 5

Unconditional response

Answer 5

Salvation - when presented with US (food)

Question 6

Conditional stimulus (CS)

Answer 6

When it is learned that a given situation (bell) means food (US) and UR happens

Question 7

Conditional response (CR)

Answer 7

When CS happens and a UR happens without a US, it is called CR

Question 8

Pavlovian conditioning

Answer 8

Classical conditioning

Question 9

Higher-order conditioning

Answer 9

pairing a neutral stimulus to a CS - white coat + bell = salvation

Question 10

Test trial

Answer 10

Presenting CS alone to see if a CR has occurred

Question 11

Pseudoconditioning

Answer 11

When someone thinks a neutral stimulus is related to a US generating a CR. Nurse coughing (neutral) while giving a painful injection (US) and you wince (CR). When a nurse coughs you wince - thinking the cough was what caused you pain.

Question 12

Trace conditioning

Answer 12

CS begins and ends before US appears

Question 13

Delay conditioning

Answer 13

When CS and US overlap

Question 14

Simultaneous conditioning

Answer 14

When CS and US occurs at the same time

Question 15

Backward conditioning

Answer 15

When US happens first and CS comes after

Question 16

Contingency

Answer 16

If - then. If X happens Y will always follow

Question 17

Contiguity

Answer 17

Closeness in time between two events

Question 18

Interstimulus interval (ISI)

Answer 18

The interval between CS and US

Question 19

Taste aversion

Answer 19

Pairing a certain food with something that makes you sick.

Question 20

Compound Stimulus

Answer 20

Two or more stimuli presented simultaneously, often as CS

Question 21

Overshadowing

Answer 21

Failure of a stimulus that is part of a compound stimulus to become a CS. The stimulus is overshadowed by the stimulus that does become a CS

Question 22

Latent inhibition

Answer 22

Appearance of a stimulus without the US interferes with the ability of that stimulus to become a CS later

Question 23

Blocking

Answer 23

Failure of a stimulus to become a CS because another stimulus has become a CS.

Question 24

Intertrial interval (Pavlovian)

Answer 24

Interval between paring of CS and US

Question 25

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 25

When an extinguished CR appears spontaneously

Question 26

Stimulus substitution theory

Answer 26

The CS is a substitute to the US in evoking a reflex response

Question 27

Preparatory response theory

Answer 27

CR is a response designed to prepare for the US.

UR is designed to deal with US

Question 28

Compensation theory

Answer 28

CR prepares the animal for the US by compensating for its effects.
The body prepares for the drugs, which minimise their effects, so when a drug addict does drugs in a new setting, the body is not prepared and the use might overdose - even if it is a smaller dose of drugs

Question 29

Rescorla-Wagner model

Answer 29

Recognises that greatest amount of learning occurs in the first pairings of CS and US.
