- classical conditioning
-
pairing
Pavlov
Watson - operant conditioning
- rewards & punishment
- social leanring theory
- observation & imitation
- reflexes
- stimulus-response links
- unconditioned reflex
-
inborn & automatic; no learning
US --- UR
same for all members of species - conditioned reflex
-
requires learning
not all members of species same
CS --- CR - trace conditioning
-
CS precedes US by a short interval and stops before presentation of US
e.g., bell - Pavlov - delay conditioning
-
CS precedes US by sig period & overlaps with US
e.g., rat - Watson - temporal conditioning
- US presented repeatedly at a consitent time interval; eventually time becomes CS (animals feeding time)
- simultaneous conditioning
-
NS & US completely overlap
NO learning takes place! - backward conditioning
-
US precedes NS
NO learning! - stimulus generalization
-
mediated generalization
automaticallly generalizes from CS to other similar NS
Watson - white animals - higher order conditioning
-
deliberate porcess where CS paired with NS - which becomes new CS
second order conditioning
third order conditioning (no higher) - classica extinction
-
present CS without US
does not work to present US without CS - spontaneous recovery
- during extinction trials; following rest CR briefly reappears
- stimulus discrimination
- animal learns to discriminate between two similar neutral stimuli
- experimental neurosis
-
in stimulus discrimination if discriminations are made to difficult
if then returned to original mastered discrimination - no longer be able to discriminate - pseudoconditioning
-
accidentally occurs; not deliberately paired
caused by inadvertant pairing or heightened arousal - habituation
-
subject becomes accustomed to and less responsive to US after repeated exposure
US no longer elicits UR
never involves CS
