Classical Conditioning

Front 1

2 most important things for classical conditioning to happen

Back 1

1. Temporal contiguity: nearness in time
2. Contingency: predictability

Front 2

Generalization

Back 2

making conditioned responses to similar stimuli that have never been paired with the unconditioned stimulus

Front 3

Discrimination

Back 3

to respond only to the original CS

Front 4

Spontaneous Recovery

Back 4

reappearance of an extinguished CS after a rest period

Front 5

Pavlov's Classical Conditioning Experiment

Back 5

food (UCS) -> salivation (UCR)
bell -> no reaction
bell + food -> salivation
eventually: bell (CS) -> salivation (CR)

Front 6

Delayed/Forward Conditioning

Back 6

the CS (bell) is presented before the UCS and is present while the UCS is presented and until the UCR appears (bell rings before + during presentation of food and carries on until dog salivates)

Front 7

Backward Conditioning

Back 7

CS presented after the UCS (bell presented after the food)

Front 8

Simultaneous Conditinoing

Back 8

CS and UCS are presented together (bell and food presented at the same time)

Front 9

Trace Conditioning

Back 9

the CS is presented and removed before the UCS is presented (bell rings and then stops ringing, food is presented)

Front 10

John Watson

Back 10

founder of behaviorism, struck a steal bar loudly as Little Albert was presented with a white rat. Little Albert then became afraid of white rats and all white things in general (through generalization)
