Document Summary
Organisms learn an association between the conditioned stimulus and the us. The association allows the cs to activate processes. Forward conditioning (cs presented before the us: delayed: cs starts, then the us is presented after a brief (less than 1 minute) delay. Cs may continue during the us or end as the us starts: trace: us is not presented until the cs has ended. Shows that there is temporal encoding of the us in relationship to the cs. Simultaneous conditioning: the cs and us are presented concurrently (same time). Embedded conditioning: the cs is presented at some point during the presentation of the us. Backwards conditioning: the us onset precedes the cs onset. This often produces inhibitory conditioning. (food bell does not create association between the bell meaning food. Pseudo-conditioning: response to the cs is due to sensitization and not classical conditioning.
