c/c = classical conditioning                  Psychology 101           1 of 2

stim = stimulus                                               May 8, 2006

 rep = repetition (s)                                    Classical Conditioning

uncond  = unconditioned

cond  =  conditioned

 

 

 

c/c  = process teach sub to respnd to stim thru repeat

 

      

 

            famous  ex.    >    Pavlov dog bell meat scnt

 

            bell + meat scnt = dog mouth watr

 

            aftr reps > bell only = dog mouth watr

 

 

 

before c/c   >

 

 

 

               uncond stim = meat scnt

               uncond   respons   =  mouth watr

 

 

 

after c/c    >

 

             cond stim   =    bell

 

             cond   respons   = mouth  watr

 

 

 

 

 

why?   imprnt on brain aftr many reps = condit

 

 

 

     aver.   human reps = 28 to c/c   sub

 

 

 

     aver.   rat reps = 20 to c/c   sub

 

 

 

    no  reward = extinct    in    time

 

 

    must reward  =  (meat scnt)    occas    to    keep    cond.
