PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Little Albert Experiment, Classical Conditioning, Autonomic Nervous System
Document Summary
Respondent conditioning: deals with behaviors that are elicited automatically by some stimulus. Physical pain (us) rubbing at painful area (ur) Throat irritation (us) clearing the throat (ur) Food in mouth (us) chewing (ur) Bright light (us) covering eyes (ur) Conditioned stimulus (cs): originally neutral now elicits reflexive response. Conditioned response (cr): learned reflexive response to conditioned stimulus. A neutral stimulus is followed closely in time by a us (which elicits a ur) which leads to the previously neutral stimulus eliciting the same response. After pairing with the us, the ns becomes a conditioned stimulus (cs) that now elicits a conditioned response (cr) Pair ns and us to produce ur. Cs will produce cr: example: pair bell and food to produce salivation; bell will produce salivation after conditioning. Pair ns and cs to produce cr. Produce a new cs which elicits the cr: ex: pair light with bell to produce salivation; light will produce salivation after conditioning.
