VUL’FSONS EXPERIMENT

FOCUSED ON SALIVARY GLANDS WHERE DOG SALIVATES AT THE SIGHT OF NATURAL SAND BEFORE IT IS PLACED IN DOG’S MOUTH.  AVERSIVE CONDITIONING

 

 

CONDITIONED STIMULUS (CS):  IS THE SIGHT OF SAND

 

UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS (US): AVERSIVE FEELING OF SAND IN MOUTH.

Sand triggered an unlearned response.

 

 

UNCONDITIONED RESPONSE: AUTOMATIC SPITTING OF THE SAND

 

 

CONDITITIONED RESPONSE: LEARNT SALIVATION/DROOLING IN RESPONSE TO THE SAND.

SNARKII EXPERIMENT:

FOCUSED ON SALIVARY GLANDS WHERE DOG LEARNS TO SALIVATE AT THE SIGHT OF ARTIFICIAL BLACK LIQUID MADE SOUR BEFORE IT IS PLACED IN THE DOG’S MOUTH.

THE ASSOCIATION OF THE FOOD (SAND= VISUAL FEATURE) AND ITS OROSENSORY FEATURE (SENSATIONS PERCEIVED IN THE MOUTH) RESULTS IN OBJECT LEARNING.

 

OBJECT LEARNING: ASSOCIATION OF ONE FEATURE OF AN OBJECT WITH ANOTHER.

 

CS IS THE BLACK LIQUID

 

UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS (US) AVERSIVE TASTE OF THE MILD ACID.

 

UR- AUTOMATIC DISTASTE OF THE SOURNESS

 

CR – LEARNT SALIVATION AT THE SIGHT OF BLACK LIQUID

 

DESCRIBE PAVLOV’S FAMOUS EXPERIMENT:  

PAVLOV CONDITIONED DOGS TO LEARN TO SALIVATE AT THE SOUND OF A BELL.

CS: BELL SOUND                US: FOOD                 UR: SALIVATING AT FOOD            

CR: SALIVATING AT THE BELL SOUND.

WATSON’S EXPERIMENT: LITTLE ALBERT

GOAL WAS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT FEAR COULD BE CONDITIONED IN A HUMAN BEING THROUGH CLASSICAL CONDITIONING.

LITTLE ALBERT WAS EXPOSED TO A WHITE RAT WHILE WHITE NOISE WAS PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND AND HE LEARNT TO FEAR THE RAT.

INITIALLY: SHOWED NO FEAR WHEN SHOWN THE WHITE RAT

PRESENTATION OF WHITE RAT WITH A LOUD NOISE (STEEL BAR STRICKEN WITH HAMMER): LITTLE ALBERT BEGAN TO CRY AND SHOW FEAR TOWARDS THE RAT. AFTER SEVERAL REPITITION OF THIS PROCESS, LITTLE ALBERT BEGAN TO ASSOCIATE THE SIGHT OF THE RAT WITH THE LOUD NOISE, RESULTING IN HIM CRYING AND SHOWING FEAR TOWARDS THE RAT.

RABBIT AND SANTA MASK: FEAR AS A REACTION

LITTLE ALBERT WAS SUCCESSFULLY CONDITIONED TO FEAR NOT JUST THE WHITE RAT, BUT OTHER SIMILAR OBJECTS TOO.

 

CS= WHITE RAT

US= THE LOUD GONG

UR- NATURAL FEAR AND CRYING IN RESPONSE TO THE LOUD GONG MADE BY STRIKING THE STEEL BAR WITH A HAMMER.

CR= FEAR OF THE WHITE RAT PAIRED WITH THE LOUD GONG
