Pavlov

What is the type of conditioning PAVLOV discovered?

Classical conditioning

Classical conditioning is learning through _________?

association

In his experiment what type of stimulus was the bell initially?

Neutral Stimulus

In his experiment what did the dog begin to associate the bell with?

being fed

What was the Conditioned response?

Salivation

In his experiment what was the Unconditioned Stimulus?

the food

What type of stimulus was the bell at the end of the eperiment?

Conditioned stimulus

What is a neutral stimulus?

an event that does not produce a response

what is an unconditioned stimulus?

an event that produces and innate reflex response

What is and unconditioned response?

an innate unlearned reflexive response

What is a conditioned stimulus?

an event that produces a learned response

What is a conditioned response?

A learned response to an event

What are the 4 other key features of classical conditioning?

timing

stimulus generalisation

extinction

spontaneous recovery

How does timing influence classical conditioning?

if the NS and UCS are too far apart the association will not be made

What does stimulus generalisation mean?

that once conditioned the response will occur for other similar stimuli

How would stimulus generalisation apply to the dogs?

they would salivate to other bells

What is extinction?

Where the CR is not permanent, if the UCS is not produced it loses the CR

What is spontaneous recovery?

where after extinction, if the stimuli are presented together the conditioned response will reoccur?

is spontaneous recovery slower than initial learning?

No it is much faster

What is the name of the baby/ experiment that reinforced Pavlov's findings?

Little Albert

What association was formed for Little Albert?

The loud noise and the white rat

Over time did albert maintain his fear of the rat?

yes but it became much less severe

What else did Albert develop fears of?

White fluffy objects
