  3. The 6 Principles of Classical Conditioning • The 6 principles of Classical Conditioning are: • Acquisition • Stimulus Generalization • Stimulus Discrimination • Extinction • Spontaneous Recovery • And High-Order Conditioning.

  4. Acquisition • Neutral stimulus (NS) and unconditioned stimulus (UCS) are paired. • Neutral stimulus (NS) turns into a conditioned stimulus (CS) causing a conditioned response (CR). • Example: Being scared (CR) to go to the dentist (CS) by connecting it with a painful tooth-pulling (UCS).

  5. Conditioning • Delayed conditioning: The neutral stimulus is shown before the unconditioned stimulus and stays until the unconditioned response starts, and yields the fastest learning. • Backward conditioning: The unconditioned stimulus is shown before neutral stimulus. This is less effective.

  6. Conditioning Continued • Forward conditioning: Occurs when the neutral stimulus appears just before and during the presentation of the unconditioned stimulus. • Trace conditioning: Relies on memory - it is when the presentation of the neutral stimulus ceases before the arrival of the unconditioned stimulus.

  7. Stimulus Generalization • A conditioned response (CR) is brought out by conditioned stimulus (CS) and by stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus (CS). • Example: You learn to fear the dentists’ office and places that smell like them.

  8. Stimulus Discrimination • Certain stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus don’t bring out the conditioned response. • Example: You learn the physician’s office isn’t connected to the painful tooth-pulling.

  9. Extinction • Conditioned stimulus is presented alone, without the unconditioned stimulus. Eventually the conditioned stimulus no longer brings out the conditioned response. • Example: You go back to the dentist for a check-up, with no pain or tooth-pulling, and your fear slowly disappears.

  10. Spontaneous Recovery • Sudden reappearance of a conditioned response that was previously gone. • Example: While watching a movie depicting a dentist performing oral surgery, your fear temporarily returns suddenly.

  11. High-Order Conditioning • Neutral stimulus becomes conditioned stimulus after being paired with previous conditioned stimulus repeatedly. • Example: When you crave fast-food after seeing a billboard advertisement.
