3. Classical Conditioning
Behaviorism
Ivan Pavlov—Russian physiologist
Classical conditioning  learning procedure in which associations are made between a natural stimulus and a learned, neutral stimulus

4. Pavlov’s Experiment

5. Pavlov’s Experiment
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)—food; event that elicits a predictable response without previous training
Unconditioned response (UCR)—salivation; automatic (natural) reaction to a stimulus
Conditioned stimulus (CS)—tuning fork; once neutral stimulus that elicits a given response after a period of training paired with a UCS
Conditioned response (CR)—salivation by the sound; learned reaction to a CS

(UCS, UCR, Ns, Cs, CR)

8. Come up with an example of classical conditioning
CC Diagram
Come up with an example of classical conditioning
Create a diagram of how classical conditioning is developed in your example
Include:
Before, During, After
Labels (UCS, UCR, NS, CS, CR)
Pictures
COLOR (optional)

10. More CC Terms
Acquisition – Pairing the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to strengthen the conditioned response (CR)
Generalization – responding similarly to stimuli that are similar to the original CS
Discrimination – responding differently to similar, yet distinct stimuli to the original CS
Extinction – Gradual disappearance of a CR when the UCS stops being given with the CS
Spontaneous Recovery – A while after extinction, the CR returns though not to full strength

11. More CC Terms Example
Apply to the example

12. Little Albert Case Study
What concepts of classical conditioning are shown in this case study? Explain each.

13. CC Diagram
Apply each of the concepts you have just learned (acquisition, generalization, discrimination, extinction, and spontaneous recovery) to your own example
RECORD ON THE BACK OF YOUR DIAGRAM
Don’t forget: Before, During, After and all terms (UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR)!

14. Pavlov’s Experiment
Method: Pavlov would play the tuning fork, then present the dog with meat to elicit the response of salivation
Neutral stimulus—stimulus that had nothing to do with the response (ex: tuning fork)
Natural stimulus—stimulus that triggers response naturally (ex: food)
Response—salivation
