Document Summary

Association of a neutral stimulus with one that consistently elicits a response. Unconditioned stimulus (ucs) leads to unconditioned response (ucr) Then pair a conditioned stimulus (cs) with the unconditioned stimulus (ucs) So the conditioned stimulus (cs) leads to a conditioned response (ur) Ring bell (cs) every time you give ucs. We are hard wired to lean because we have an orienting reflex (humans will learn no matter what) Doesn"t matter what dog does, as long as both stimuli are present. Many possible ucs, ur, cs, cr for each situation. Stimulus is associated with the neutral stimulus (stranger) Females listen to different music and rate males. A latency response: how long it takes for cr to occur from cs), comparing many trials. How much a dog salivated every time it hears a bell. Pair primary cs with another neutral stimulus (secondary cs) Transferring the cs from bell to a light for example.
