Chapter 5 Notes on Learning 1 Classical Conditioning a Also known as Pavlovian Conditiong founded by Ivan Pavlov b Pavlov s Dogs i Pavlov wanted to know why dogs would salivate before they got food ii Designed a classical condition experiment to test classical conditioning theory iii His experiment 1 Pavlov would ring a bell 2 After ringing the bell Pavlov would give the dogs food causing them to salivate 3 Day after day Pavlov repeated the process 4 One day Pavlov rang the bell and the dogs automatically salivated before they got the food 5 Pavlov s Results a Salivating when a bell was sounded became a learned action for the dogs b The dogs associated the bell with food 2 Stimuli s in classical conditioning a There are five types of stimuli associated with classical conditioning i Neutral stimulus a stimulus that does not have a meaning of purpose but is there ii Unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response when an object is iii given to the test subject an automatic response occurs Conditioned stimulus conditioned response A stimulus becomes learned and is correlated with a response b Stimuli s in relation to Pavlov s dog experiment i Bell neutral stimulus ii Food unconditioned stimulus iii Salivation unconditioned response Salivation happens because the dogs get food iv Bell conditioned stimulus becomes this over time after repetition v Salivation Condition response occurs when bell is rung vi Conditioned means learned c For an alternated example of classical conditioning view this web link http www youtube com watch v nE8pFWP5QDM feature related Can you figure out the stimulis d Diagrams Visual of stimuli s i Bell conditioned stimulus Food unconditioned stimulus Salivation unconditioned response ii Bell conditioned response Salivation conditioned response 3 Four types of classical conditioning a Delayed Forward Conditioning creates a strong association between two things If you have a rat you turn the tone on wait and whit the tone is playing your release a shock to the rat The rat will associate the tone to the shock i b Trace Conditioning Harder for connection to be made a short period is put in between the stimulus and the affect reaction c Simultaneous Conditioning No signal is released stimulus and reaction occur at the same exact time Very little connection is made for subject d Backwards Conditioning Absolutely no connection is made between stimulus and reactions This is because reaction occurs BEFORE the stimulus
