Helps you figure out where to begin. Duration- length of time a behavior is exhibited. Interval- how often in a given time interval. Conducted in controlled environment everybody lives in same conditions. Dependent variable: effect ; change in behavior that you"re measuring. Confounding: a factor that may cause problem with dependent variable. Example: double dissociation of conditioning and declarative knowledge . Intervening: another factor that could be affecting outcome. Hippocampus- short term memory, context representations, forming associations, memory storage. Ns- neutral stimulus (means nothing at first) Ur- unconditioned response (innately has a response to it) Cs- conditioned stimulus (neutral stimulus becomes this) Cr - conditioned response (subject trained to respond to the cs)
