Document Summary

Chapter 5: stimulus-subs theory, supported by pavlov. The cs comes to represent the us so the animal treats the cs as the us: therefore, the cs replaces the us. If cs is acting as a substitute for the us then the cr should always be the same, but remember that this is not always the case because there can be differences in the ur and cr. One main difference is that a cr can be extinguished because it is learned vs an. Ur that is innate: preparatory response theory, the purpose of the cr is to prepare/expect the organism for the presentation of us. For example, the dog salivates to the tone so that he can be ready for the food. Or a rat freezes in preparation or expect a shock. In this case, the cr are sometimes different with this theory.
