Document Summary
Chapter 5 classical conditioning: underlying processes and practical applications. Stimulus-substitution theory the cs acts as a substitute for the us. Pavlov claimed that presentation of the us activates the cerebral cortex responsible for sensing the occurrence of that event activates the salivation center in cortex salivation. When light is linked to the food: light activates light centre in the cortex activates food centre in cortex activates salivation center in the cortex salivation. Sign tracking when the light is associated with food, the dog may even approach the light just as it does food, and start licking it light being perceived as edible. However, there is sometimes a difference between cr and ur! E. g. a rat when gets shocked it jumps, and when it sees the light that is associated with the sock, it will freeze. Preparatory-response theory of conditioning the purpose of the cr is to prepare the organism for the presentation of the us.
