Higher-Order Conditioning

Higher-Order Conditioning

a procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus.

Higher-Order conditioning

A cat learns that the can opener= food. The can opener is the CS. The cat then realizes that the can opener is stored in the squeaky cupboard. So now it knows that the squeaky cupboard= food. This is an example of...........

Extinction

diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus.

Extinction

Pavlov's dogs salivate less and less when they heard the bell and did not receive food. This is an example of...........

Spontaneous Recovery

reappearance, after a pause, of an extinct CR even in the absence of the UCS.

Spontaneous Recovery

Pavlov gave the dogs a rest period and he didn't ring the bell for a while. Then all of a sudden he rang the bell again and the dogs started to salivate again. This is an example of.........

Generalization

tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for a stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.

Generalization

Pavlov rung a different sounding bell, and the dogs still drooled. This is an example of.............

the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.

Discrimination

If you have a bad relationship with someone, but you acknowledge that their sister is not them, so you don't judge her the same as her brother. This is an example of.............
