Association
allows you to predict behavior

pets- can opener and come to be fed
Pavlov
father of classical conditioning, physiologist discovered it by mistake
Unconditional stimulus
US, automatically elicits response

ex. food presented
Unconditional response
response to the US

ex: salivation
Conditional stimulus
CS, neutral stimulus until paired with US, ex. tone
Conditional response
response to the CS, ex: salivation
UR & CR, identical?
Don't always have to be. The intensity of response can change

example: Little Albert, fear was exhibited in different ways
Conditioned Suppression Paradigm
(conditioned emotional response)
measures fear indirectly by...
1. measuring the supression of ongoing behavior (train said behavior, such as bar press)

2. pair CS with an aversive US tone + shock

3. Measure suppression of bar pressing, or whatever ongoing behavior
Conditioned Taste Aversion
CS - flavor
US - feeling of being sick
UR - aversion
CR - aversion to flavor
neophobia
fear of new things, organisms and humans have this with flavor
CTA and CS and US
with taste aversion, CS and US have to be paired closely in time

this can pass from mother to rats and also subconsciously
Excitatory Classical Conditioning
the CS activates behavior
Conditional trial
one CS-US pairing
Intertrial interval (ITI)
time between trial
Interstimulus interval (ISI)
time between CS-US presentation
Short delayed conditioning
CS is presented right before the US ( US is presented at the end of CS)

Best Results
Trace conditioning
CS is presented before US, there is some time in between the two

Good results, but how well it works depends on trace length
Long delayed conditioning
CS happens for a long time, and then US is presented at the end

not as effective, inhibition of delay makes it confusing
simultaneous conditioning
happen at the same time, CS US

don't know what is causing what, so its not that effective
Backward Conditioning
the US is presented before the CS

this yields the worst results
Random control procedure
control group = CS and US unpaired (randomly)

Explicitly unpaired controls = Cs and US is explicitly unpaired
Latent Inhibition
pre-exposure to the CS retards conditioning
Inhibitory Conditioning
CS predicts the absence of US

Dog - US
rain - CS

dog inside when it's raining

ex: don't get bullied when the teacher is around so teacher gets called the inhibitor
Conditioned Inhibitory
CS that predicts absence of US
Standard procedure for conditioned inhibition
LOOK AT PAGE 91
extinction
repeatedly present CS without the US repeatedly
response blocking
not allowing the subject to avoid
-with fear conditioning
habituation and extinction
similar but not identical

differences: extinction is where response was conditioned, habituation was when the response was elicited reflexively

similarities - both occur because of repeated exposure to an eliciting stimulus
Spontaneous Recovery
passage of time leads to temporary recovery of CR

this supports that extinction is not "unlearning" of the CS-US
disinhibition
novel extraneous stimulus will cause temporary recovery of responding
What is actually learned in extinction?
Pavlov argued that during extinction CS acquires inhibitory proprties
Evidence against Pavlov
1. extinguished CSs don't elicit "opposite' responses in bidirectional response systems like CS-

2. extinguished responses are "relearned" more quickly

3. extinguished CS does not inhibit CR, elicited by a CS+ in a compound test like CS- does
