What is classical conditioning?
Associating a CS with an US to get a CR
1 of 17
Give an example of classical conditioning and explain?
Pavlov dogs - fear - saliva, bell
2 of 17
How is learning contiguous?
It required the repeated presence of the CS and US in the same space or time
3 of 17
Explain memory in neural terms
The co-occurence in activity of 2 neutrons increases the synapse strength between them - make links between the 2 event s- learn - LTP
4 of 17
What are the forms of conditioning?
Appetitive, aversive, excitatory, inhibitory and temporal arrangement of stimulus
5 of 17
Wha is appetitive conditioning?
A pleasant event which the person seeks
6 of 17
What is aversive conditions?

7 of 17
What is excitatory conditioning?
Conditioning associated with the presentation of a stimulus
8 of 17
What is inhibitory conditioning?
Conditioning associated with the removal of a stimulus
9 of 17
What is temporal arrangement of stimulus?
How long after/before the US is presented that the CS is presented
10 of 17
What are the characteristics of conditioning?
Acquisition speed, extinction, spontaneous recovery, disinhibition, stimulus generalisation, stimulus discrimination
11 of 17
What is acquisition speed?
Learning speed depends on the strength of the stimuli
12 of 17
What is extinction?
Conditioning can be weakened if the CS is presented without the US repeatedly
13 of 17
What is spontaneous recovery?
CR reconditioned following a rest period
14 of 17
What is disinhibition?
Recovery of response during extinction when a novel stimulus is introduced
15 of 17
What is stimulus generalisation?
Conditioning can also occur in stimuli that are similar to the CS
16 of 17
What is stimulus discrimination?
Discriminated between different variations of the CS dependant on what one will give the reward e.g. ringing bell twice instead of once
