- TIMING
- CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
- when a neutral stimulus is consistently paired with an unconditioned stimulus so that it eventually takes on the properties of this stimulus and is able to produce a conditioned response
- classical conditioning involves involuntary behaviours
- associating one thing with another thing
- PAVLOV'S RESEARCH
- dogs reacted with a stimulus that coincides with the presentation of food
- concludes: animals learn through association
- UCS = food
- UCR = salivation
- dogs reacted with a stimulus that coincides with the presentation of food
- LITTLE ALBERT (WATSON + RAYNER)
- initially 11 month old Albert showed no fear of white fluffy object such as rats + rabbits
- researchers placed a white rat infront of Albert and as eh reached to stroke it a metal bar was banged loudly behind his head
- overtime when Albert was then shown a white rat he would cry
- this also happened when he was shown other white fluffy objects
- fear response of white fluffy objects conditioned in Little Albert
- fear response of white fluffy objects conditioned in Little Albert
- this also happened when he was shown other white fluffy objects
- overtime when Albert was then shown a white rat he would cry
- researchers placed a white rat infront of Albert and as eh reached to stroke it a metal bar was banged loudly behind his head
- helped support Pavlov's idea of classical conditioning
- initially 11 month old Albert showed no fear of white fluffy object such as rats + rabbits
- unconditioned stimulus causes a natural unconditioned response
- a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus producing an unconditioned response
- after conditioning, the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus
- the conditioned stimulus produces a conditioned response alone
- CS = CR
- NS --> CS
- the conditioned stimulus produces a conditioned response alone
- NS + UCS = UCR
- after conditioning, the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus
- UCS = UCR
- a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus producing an unconditioned response
- when a neutral stimulus is consistently paired with an unconditioned stimulus so that it eventually takes on the properties of this stimulus and is able to produce a conditioned response
- EXTINCTION
- CR doesn't become permanently established as response - CS can lose ability to produce CR
- SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY
- after extinction, if CS and UCS paired again, link made more quikly
- STIMULUS GENERALISATION
- Pavlov discovered that once an animal has been conditioned, they also respond to other stimuli similar to CS
- if the time interval between NS and UCS is too great, conditioning doesn't occur
- CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
- NS = bell
- paired
- UCS = food
- UCR = salivation
- bell (now CS) causes salivation (CR)
- UCS = food
- paired
- overtime when Albert was then shown a white rat he would cry
- this also happened when he was shown other white fluffy objects
- this also happened when he was shown other white fluffy objects
- GORN - background music and participants picking a pen colour for a gift
