Document Summary

Cs conditioned stimuli paired up ---- ur (biological response) Us unconditioned stimuli you don"t need to be trained. Cs +/- us = cr ( the response that"s set after conditioning) When cs predicts the us, cr will show when cs shows (association) Jaws: the same music played every time when the shark is going to attack somebody. Learning to predict an important event (the us: usually takes many trials, shape of function is important. Early on, you make really big games when you learn a lot. Response limitation (physically: i can only drool so much, a limit of the ability. Limit to how much you can learn (perfect prediction already: they"ve got it, once they"ve learned the perfect association. Temporal contiguity: occurrence of events (cs & us) close together in time delay conditioning. Fastest learning, adaptive process, learn that cs predicts us.
