Q

Sensory preconditioning

A

Two neutral stimuli are repeatedly paired together without a US.
Then, one is paired with a US to become a CS

Q

Four variables that affect the rate of conditioning are:

Q

Stimulus Substitution Theory

A

As per Pavlov, the CS is a substitution for the US.
Repeated pairings cause the US-UR neural link to be established between the CS-UR. CS/US stimulate the same area of the brain.

Q

Preparatory response theory

A

Kimble proposed the UR is an innate response that deals with the US, but the CR is a response designed to prepare for the US

33
Q

Kimble

A

Preparatory response theory

34
Q

Preparatory response theory

A

Kimble suggested the UR is an innate response for dealing with the US,
and the CR merely prepares for the CS

35
Q

Seigel

A

Compensatory response theory; argued the CR prepares for the US by compensating for it’s effects
morphine (US) -> ↓ sensitivity to pain (UR)
associated stimuli (CS) -> ↑ sensitivity to pain (CR)

36
Q

Lightfoot

A

Compensatory response theory w/ college students
beer 5 days in a row over 30 min. Fifth day = new space. The students in the new place were more drunk
Novel setting lacked the other CS, so there was no compensatory CR, and alcohol is more effective

37
Q

Compensatory response theory

A

Variation of the preparatory response theory - Seigel argues the CR preps for the US by compensation

38
Q

Conditional Awareness theory

A

Proposes the CR is a result of awareness of the CS-US connection However, conditioning can occur without CS-US contingency awareness

39
Q

Rescorla-Wagner model

A

There is a limit on the amount of conditioning that can occur with stimuli. Determined by nature of the US (bread vs meat), and maximum learning occurred (e.g., 100 bee stings -> fear doesn’t increase)

40
Q

The Rescorla-Wagner model recognizes that the greatest amount of learning occurs in the ______ pairings of CS and US.

A

first/earliest

41
Q

In trace conditioning, the ______ begins and ends before the ______ appears.

A

CS
US

42
Q

In delay conditioning, the ______ ends only after the ______ begins.

A

CS
US

43
Q

In Pavlovian conditioning, ______ usually refers to the interval between CS and US.

A

contiguity

44
Q

If one part of a compound stimulus fails to become a CS, ______ has occurred.

A

overshadowing

45
Q

Wallace & Rosen

A

Demonstrated that rats have a UR to the odorous chemicals of fox feces. Survival advantage.

46
Q

Watson + Rayner

A

Little Albert
US (noise) -> UR (fear)
CS (rat) + US (noise) -> UR (fear)
Rat -> Fear

47
Q

Jones

A

Counterconditioning which grew to exposure therapy
Peter, fear of rabbits: CS (rabbit) + positive US (snacks) -> decreased dear.
In vivo

48
Q

Systemic Desentitization

A

Patient + therapist create a list of scenarios from comfortable -> extreme fear. Patient imagines scenarios and therapists conducts relaxation exercise to associate relaxation with the scenario.
Scenario (CR) + positive US (relaxation) -> CR (decreased fear)
Developed by Wolpe

49
Q

Wolpe

A

systemic desensitization

50
Q

VRET

A

52
Q

Olsson

A

A

a sexually-arousing CS is followed by a nonsexual US to eliminate the arousal

54
Q

Lavin

A

therapy w/ crossdressing man. took pics, gave him emetic and showed him pics while an audio tape describing what was happening played. Effective.

55
Q

Maletzsky

A

treated exhibitionists by pairing CS (imagining exposing) with a US (foul smelling acid). Effective.

56
Q

Garcia

A

conditioned rats to avoid sweet water using gamma radiation
conditioned taste aversion or conditioned food avoidance
