Classical Conditioning Unconditioned Stimulus: Unconditioned Response: Neutral stimulus: Conditioned Stimulus: Conditioned Response:
THE FORMULA IN OTHER WORDS UCS UCR An unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response NS + UCS UCR A neutral stimulus paired with an unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response A conditioned stimulus elicits a conditioned response CS CR
Ivan Pavlov Could dogs be conditioned? UCS (meat) UCR (salivation) Bell = NS Pairs the bell and meat together NS + UCS UCR Constant Pairing produces: CS (bell) CR (salivation)
Classical Conditioning Generalization: Discrimination: Extinction: Spontaneous Recovery:
