1
Q
Classical conditioning
A
- learning to link 2 stimuli in a way that helps us anticipate an event to which we have a reaction
2
Q
What researchers are linked to classical conditioning?
A
- John B Watson
- BF Skinner
3
Q
What was BF Skinner a primary researcher of?
A
- Behaviorism
4
Q
What was John B Watson a primary researcher of?
A
- Operant Conditioning
5
Q
How does classical conditioning work?
A
- after repeated exposure to 2 stimuli occurring in sequence, we associate those stimuli with each other. Our natural response to one stimulus now can be triggered by the new, predictive stimulus
6
Q
What is an example of classical conditioning?
A
- Stimulus 1: See lightning
- Stimulus 2: Hear thunder
- Stimulus 3: see lightning
- Response: cover ears to avoid sound
7
Q
Neutral stimulus
A
- stimulus that doesn’t trigger a response
8
Q
Pavlov’s experiment, the bell ringing is a:
A
- neutral stimulus
9
Q
Pavlov’s experiment, when the dog sees the dog food and begins salivating, it means that it is a:
A
- unconditioned response
10
Q
Unconditioned response
A
- stimulus that triggers a response naturally, before or without any conditioning
11
Q
When the bell ringing and the dog food is presented together repeatedly:
A
Dog begins to salivate upon the ringing of the bell, which originally the neutral stimulus. Neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus.
12
Q
High order conditioning
A
- turning a NS into a CS by associating it with another CS
13
Q
What is an example of high order conditioning?
A
- man who was conditioned to associate joy w/ coffee, could then learn to associate joy w/ a restaurant if he was served coffee there very time he walked in to the restaurant
14
Q
Acquisition
A
- refers to the initial stage of learning/ conditioning
15
Q
Extinction
A
- refers to the demising of conditioned response
