PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Classical Conditioning, Aversion Therapy, Reinforcement
Document Summary
Behaviours that are elicited by prior stimuli and are not affected by their consequences. Involves unconditioned reflexes or involuntary behaviour (eg salivation in response to food) that become paired with certain stimuli. Also called instrumental condition, has to do with the consequences of voluntary behaviours. Deals with behaviours that are elicited automatically by some stimulus. Getting an existing behaviour to occur, to different stimuli. Learning of new stimulus-response connections, by pairing of stimuli. Elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning. Originally neutral, now elicits reflexive response (due to pairing with another stimulus that elicits the reflexive response) A neutral stimulus followed closely in time by an us that elicits an ur will then also tend to elicit that same response in time (thereby becoming a cs) Stimulus-response relationship in which a stimulus automatically elicits a response without any prior learning. Stimulus-response relationship in which a stimulus elicits a response because of prior respondent conditioning.
