Document Summary
Chapter 3 respondent conditioning of reflexive behaviour. Respondent behaviours: behaviours elicited by prior stimuli and are not affected by consequences: like reflexive behaviours; physiological related (e. g. blushing, feeling hungry, aroused etc. ) Get existing behaviour to occur for a different stimulus. Most natural behavioural elicit: unconditioned reflexes: stimulus-response relationship; automatically elicits response; no prior learning. Most natural reflexes e. g. salivating b/c delicious food; heart jump b/c loud noise. Unconditioned stimulus: stimulus creates a response/behaviour naturally; w/o conditioning. Unconditioned response: your natural/innate behaviour/response to an us. Conditioned stimulus: stimulus that was associated with another stimulus to elicit response (e. g. the bell is the cs in the pavlov experiment) Conditioned response: your behaviour elicited b/c of a cs (e. g. salivating from a bell, not food) Timing: strong conditioning w/ cs when us occur after cs by second (short interval better than long interval). Consistently pair cs w/ us to create stronger cr (always paired is better than occasionally paired)
