  1. Introduction to Classical Conditioning Pavlov Process of Classical conditioning Examples Acquisition & Extinction Importance of & Critiques of Classical Conditioning Start Operant Conditioning Reminders/Announcements Paper 1 Due Feb 20 Sign up for research studies (Option A)

  2. Looking Ahead To Friday • Finish Operant Conditioning • Logistics • Talk about Paper 1 • Go over Exam 1 • Clicker Roll call

  3. Learning • Behaviorism • Classical conditioning • Type of associative learning • Organisms associate events

  4. Pavlov’s Findings

  5. Pavlov’s Findings

  6. Classical Conditioning Basics • Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) • Naturally Triggers Response • Unconditioned Response (UCR) • Naturally Occurring Response • Conditioned Stimulus (CS) • Irrelevant Stimulus; Repeated paired with UCS • Conditioned Response (CR) • Learned Response

  7. Pavlov’s Findings

  8. But Just for Dogs, Right? CS alone  No response

  9. But Just for Dogs, Right? CS alone  No response UCS  UCR

  10. But Just for Dogs, Right? CS + UCS  UCR

  11. But Just for Dogs, Right? CS + UCS  UCR CS  CR

  12. Another Classical Conditioning Example • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kch8ToePPY

  13. In this clip, the unconditioned stimulus was • The computer beep • Eating the Altoid • Salivation/Fresh breath • Asking for a mint • None of the above

  14. In this clip, the conditioned stimulus was • The computer beep • Eating the Altoid • Salivation/fresh breath • Asking for a mint • None of the above

  15. Let’s compare Pavlov and Jim…

  16. Breaking it down • Computer beep  no response • Eating breath mint  salivation (fresh breath) • Eating breath mint + beep  salivation Eating breath mint + beep  salivation Eating breath mint + beep  salivation …….. Computer beep  salivation

  17. One Last CC Example

  18. Clicker Question • As a child, you were playing in the yard one day when a neighbor’s cat wandered over. Your mother screamed and brought you inside. Her behavior caused you to cry. You now have a fear of cats. The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is • Your mother’s behavior. • Your crying. • The cat. • Your fear of cats today.

  19. Acquisition and Extinction • Acquisition • Initial learning and timing • Extinction • Only CS is presented • Spontaneous Recovery

  20. Importance of CC • Learning enables animals to become responsive to adapt to their environments • Other Examples • Taste aversion • Emotions • Immune System • Video

  21. Limits of CC • Apply to physiological responses • Mechanical explanation
