Document Summary
Dogs begin to salivate before food is supplied. Contingencies: the presentation of one stimulus reliably leads to the presentation of another ex: lighting, allergic reation: when the organism learns the association between an event and a signal. Contiguity: cs and us must occur together in time. Ex: contiguity is a necessary condition for acquisition, and pavlov"s perspective, which stated contiguity is a necessary and suf cient conditioned for acquisition. Classical condition: the learning of a contingency between a signal and an event: promote survival. Unconditional response: triggered by the unconditioned stimulus with no condition/learning/training. Conditional stimulus: previously neutral stimulus that becomes associated with an unconditional stimulus to produce a learning contingency. Organism learn the contingent stimuli when it has an unconditional response to the stimulus. Conditional response: a response triggered when the contingency between conditional stimulus and unconditional stimulus has been learned. Acquisition: the process by which contingencies between cs and us is learned.
