NS
neutral stimulus
one that does not elicit a reflex response (becomes a CS)
CS
conditional stimulus
stimulus that elicits CR - conditional response
US
unconditional stimulus
stimulus that elicits a reflex response
UR
unconditional response
a reflex response elicited by a US
CR
conditional response
response elicited by a conditional stimulus
3 stages - classical
antecedent
A discriminative stimulus that precedes the response and signals that a certain consequence is not available
increase behavior/likelihood
behavior
a response that produces a certain consequence
acquisition
•process of developing and strengthening a conditioned response through repeated pairings of a NS with a US
extinction
CS is repeatedly presented in the absence of the US
presentation of bell without food
two things are no longer associated
spontaneous recovery
•reappearance of a CR to a CS following a rest period after extinction
after several extinction sessions, this no longer exists
consequence
serves to increase or decrease the probability of the response that precedes it
generalization
tendency for a CR to occur in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to the CS
the more similar, the stronger the response
discrimination
tendency for a response to be elicited more by one stimulus that another

adaptive value of classical conditioning
it allows organisms to modify behavior based on consequences
behaviors that do not serve an adaptive purpose are difficult to acquire
behaviors that enhance species’ survival are easily acquired
predatory response theory
•purpose of the CR is to prepare the organism for the presentation of the US
•CR mimics UR when it’s the most adaptive response to the US
CR is opposite of UR when countering the US is most adaptive
compensatory response
•CR is opposite of the UR
•Typically when US is pain-related or a drug
•Body starts to have the opposite side effects of the drug in order toprepare it for drug
