6 Respondent Conditioning Psych 221

Respondent Conditioning is the same as

Pavlovian and classical conditioning.

Operant conditioning =

Skinnerian conditioning

Initially presenting food produced to salivation

This is Elicited Behavior

Respondent Conditioning

a neutral stimulus acquires characteristics of an unconditioned stimulus

Consequences are of no interest

in Respondent Conditioning

Elicit

When a specific stimulus occasions [triggers] a specific reflex
response, we say that the stimulus elicits the response

Neutral Stimulus

a stimulus has that no eliciting effect.

Unconditioned Stimulus

a stimulus that elicits a reflex (response) without any prior history

Conditioned Stimulus

a previously neutral stimulus that now elicits a
response due to its pairing with an unconditional stimulus

Unconditioned Response

the response that occurs, reflexively, following
the presentation of the unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Response:

the response that is learned. It occurs following
the presentation of the conditional stimulus.

The CS is an antecedent stimulus but

not a discriminative stimulus

Aversive Stimuli

those that we seek to escape, evade, or avoid 

When we remember important, meaningful events
that happen in our lives

we tend to recall things that
co-occurred with those events

Delay conditioning

The CS is presented for a period of time before the US,
and may overlap with the US.

Delay Conditioning

Simultaneous Conditioning

The onset of the CS preceding that of the US
by no more than 5 s.

Simultaneous Conditioning

Trace Conditioning

The CS is presented for a brief period of time (it turns on
then off), and some time later, the US is presented.

Trace Conditioning

Backward Conditioning

The US is presented and consumed before
the CS is presented.

Backward Conditioning

Delay 

CS is presented before US, and overlaps with US

Simultaneous

CS and US are presented at exactly the same time

Trace

CS is presented, then removed, then US is
presented (≤ 5 s later)

Backward

US is presented first, and then some time later the
CS is presented

Respondent Extinction

repeated presentation of the CS without the US

Spontaneous Recovery 

an increase in the conditioned response after respondent extinction has occured
