Pavlov classical conditioning

Ivan Pavlov

Russian physiologist known for classical conditioning.

Classical Conditioning

Learning process through association of stimuli.

Unconditioned Response

Automatic response not learned; e.g., salivation.

Unconditioned Stimulus

Stimulus that naturally triggers a response; e.g., food.

Conditioned Response

Learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus

Originally neutral stimulus that triggers response after conditioning.

Neutral Stimulus

Stimulus that initially produces no response.

Law of Temporal Contiguity

Conditioning requires stimuli to be presented closely in time.

Salivation

Natural reflex action of dogs in response to food.

Lab Assistant

Initially neutral stimulus that became associated with food.

Bell

Neutral stimulus used in Pavlov's experiments.

Stimulus-Response Connection

Link between a stimulus and a behavioral response.

Behaviourist Terms

Framework for understanding behavior through observable actions.

Learning

Change in behavior resulting from experience or conditioning.

Pavlov's Experiment

Study demonstrating classical conditioning with dogs.

Salivary Secretions

Measured response to food in Pavlov's research.

Association

Link formed between two stimuli through conditioning.

Scientific Discovery

Finding that changed understanding of learning processes.

Response Change

Behavior alteration indicating learning has occurred.

Systematic Study

Organized research approach to understand learning laws.

Conditioning

Process of learning associations between stimuli.
