6. Ivan Pavlov

Classical Conditioning

Links - connects things together

Unconsciously or automatic learned behavior

Unconditioned Stimulus

Do it without thinking

*cold breeze causes person to shiver

Neutral Stimulus

A stimulus that doesn’t initially trigger a response on its own

*seeing a dog, ok is a dog

*hearing a sound - ok is a sound

Conditioned Stimulus

A stimulus that was once neutral, but now leads to a response

*A man gets bit by a dog and now fears all dogs (dog is the conditioned stimulus)

Unconditioned Response

A response that occurs automatically in the presence of a stimulus

*you smell your favorite food - mouth waters

Conditioned Response

A learned response or a response that is created where no response existed before

*the fear elicited by the bite is the conditioned response
