unconditioned stimulus
|
automatically elicits reflexive response
|
|
unconditioned response
|
reflexive response to US
|
|
Conditioned stimulus
|
stimulus that was initially neutral but now elicits a response when paired with US
|
|
conditioned response
|
learned response to CS
|
|
eye blink conditioning
|
US: Puff of Air
UR: eyeblink CS:light or tone CR: eyeblink |
|
Conditioned Suppression
|
US:Electric Shock
UR: Freeze (in rats) CS: light or tone CR: Freeze |
|
Skin Conductance Response
|
US: Shock
UR: Palms sweat CS: tone/word/image CR: palms sweat |
|
Taste Aversion Learning
|
US: Poison
UR: nausea CS: taste of food CR: avoidance of food |
|
Acquisition Phase:
|
first series of US-CS pairings when CR gradually increases in strength.
-increase in size or intensity of US = faster asymptote and acquisition. |
|
Extinction:
|
Repeatedly presenting the CS without the US until CR starts to decrease. But passage of time doesn't make CR disappear
|
|
Spontaneous Recovery
|
reappearance of CR (with no cause) is proof that US and CS association is not permanently destroyed in the extinction phase
|
|
Disinhibition:
|
CR recurs if CS is in a new context. This presentation of a distracting stimulus disrupts the fragile inhibition that was developed in Extinction.
|
|
Rapid Reacquisition:
|
in a second phase of acquisition
(after an extinction phase), the rate of learning is substantially faster. |
|
Generalization:
|
transfer of CR to other similar stimuli.
(like rabbits responding to all levels of frequency) |
|
Discrimination:
|
CR to one stimulus but not to other.
(like rabbits responding to only one level of frequency) |
|
Simultaneous Conditioning
|
CS and US occur at the same.
Low CR because the CS is not predictive of US |
|
Trace Conditioning
|
CS and US are separated by some time interval in which neither stimulus is presented
subject is relying on memory trace. |
|
Short Delay Conditioning
|
Most effective!
when CS begins a second or so before the US. |
|
Long Delay Conditioning
|
The CS precedes the US and continues until the US is presented.
|
|
Backward Conditioning
|
CS presented AFTER US
order matters, this limits the contiguity principle. |
|
Higher Order Conditioning
|
When a CR is transferred from one CS to another.
example: first order: attractive person second order: logo |
|
Systematic Desensitization:
|
1. construction of fear hierarchy
2. Progressive relaxation training 3. Gradual exposure to fear hierarchy while relaxed. |
|
Aversive Counter Conditioning
|
Pain aversive stimulus with attractive stimulus
US: drug UR: Nausea CS: Alcohol CR: Nausea |
|
Treatment for Bedwetting:
|
US: loud bell
UR: awaken (tighten muscles) CS: full bladder CR:awaken |
|
inhibitory CS
|
CS that prevents occurrence of reduces the size of CR
|
|
excitatory CS
|
regularly elicits CR when paired with US.
|
|
Phobias
|
US: images of twin towers
UR: fears CS:all tall buildings CR:fears |
