Unit 4: Part 2: Classical Conditioning

Question 1

Classical Conditioning

Answer 1

form of passive learning; happens automatically and involuntarily

Question 2

Associative Learning

Answer 2

learning two events occur together

Question 3

Stimulus

Answer 3

evokes an automatic response causing us to exhibit respondent behavior

Question 4

Neutral Stimulus

Answer 4

a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning (the bell)

Question 5

Unconditioned Stimulus

Answer 5

a stimulus that unconditionally - naturally and automatically - triggers an unconditioned response (the food)

Question 6

Unconditioned Response

Answer 6

a learned, naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus (sallivating)

Question 7

Conditioned Stimulus

Answer 7

an originally neutral stimulus that, after association with UCS, comes to trigger a conditional response (the bell)

Question 8

Conditioned Response

Answer 8

a learned response to a previously neutral, but now conditioned, CS (salivating)

Question 9

Step 1: Unconditioned - Unlearned

Answer 9

unconditional stimulus -> unconditional response; natural stimulus -> natural response; natural case -> natural effect

Question 10

Step 2: Adding Neutral Stimulus to Lead to Learning

Answer 10

Unconditioned Stimulus + Neural Stimulus = Unconditioned response

Question 11

Step 3: Learning the Association = Learned Response

Answer 11

Conditioned Stimulus -> Conditioned Response; remove the original, unconditioned stimulus; when response comes from the unconditioned stimulus, then its a conditioned, learned response; new cause but (usually) same effect
