Classical Conditioning
A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces that response
Form of learning by association
![Page 3: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Stimulus-Response
Stimulus - anything in the environment that one can respond to
Response - any behavior or action

Components of Classical
Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus (US) Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Unconditioned Response (UR) Conditioned Response (CR)
Before Learning After Learning
![Page 10: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Unconditioned Stimulus (US/UCS)
A stimulus that triggers a response automatically and reflexively (naturally)
Should cause somethingUS in our anchor?
![Page 11: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Unconditioned Response (UR/UCR)
The automatic response to the unconditioned stimulus
The relationship between the US and UR must be reflexive and not learned
UR in our anchor?
![Page 12: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
A stimulus that through learning has gained the power to cause a conditioned response
Must be a neutral stimulus before conditioning occursIrrelevant before conditioning (Neutral)
![Page 13: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conditioned Response (CR)
The response to the conditioned stimulus
Usually the same behavior as the UR
![Page 14: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
H0w Does Learning Occur?
![Page 15: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Acquisition
The process of developing a learned response
Occurs when a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulusEach pairing is called a trialNeutral stimulus (“That Was Easy”) is
paired with (air gun) over and overNeutral stimulus is now a CS
![Page 16: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Air gun (US) Flinch (UR)
2. That was Easy (neutral stimulus) + Air Gun (US) Flinch
3. That was Easy (CS) Flinch (CR)
![Page 17: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How can we test if acquisition has occurred?
Present the CS (That Was Easy) without presenting the US (Air Gun)
If something happens (flinch) then learning has occurred!
If not, then the neutral stimulus is not a conditioned response yet
![Page 18: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PRACTICE!
Read the provided scenarios and identify the components of classical conditioning
How do I know where to start? Ask yourself: What is the automatic/reflexive
response? UR What caused that? US What now causes the response? CS
Complete the first two scenarios on your ownMay work with your neighbor for the
remainder of the scenarios
![Page 19: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EXTINCTION, SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY, DISCRIMINATION, GENERALIZATION
Classical Conditioning Processes
![Page 20: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Extinction
The diminishing of a learned responseIn classical conditioning, the continual
presentation of the CS without the USAnchor example
Presenting “That was Easy” without the air gun
![Page 21: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Spontaneous Recovery
The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response
May be diminished
![Page 22: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Generalization
Process in which an organism produces the same response to two similar stimuli
The more similar the substitute stimulus is to the original used in conditioning, the stronger the generalized response
Little Albert example? Responding to other fluffy things
Pavlov’s example Responding to a different tuning fork
![Page 23: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Discrimination
A process in which an organism produces different responses to two similar stimuli
Subject learns that one stimuli predicts the US and the other does not
Pavlov ExampleDog being able to tell the difference between
two tuning forks
![Page 24: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Classical Conditioning in Everyday Life
![Page 25: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
John Watson
Behaviorist Mental processes don’t matter!
Wanted to disprove Freud’s growing field of psychoanalysis
![Page 26: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant chief, and yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and the race of his ancestors” (From Behaviorism, by John Watson, 1924)

So What?
Brought up questions of ethicsAlso….any time you associate an emotional response with a particular stimulus, classical conditioning probably has occurredAdvertisements!

Desensitization Therapy
Some phobias are learned through classical conditioning
Mary Cover Jones: fears can be unlearned through CC Used cc to pair a frightening thing (rabbit) w/
pleasant experience (candy)Joseph Wolpe: Desensitization Therapy
Learning to relax in fearful/anxiety producing situations
![Page 34: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Taste Aversion
Subjects become classically conditioned to avoid specific tastes, because the tastes are associated with nausea
John Garcia (1917- )
![Page 35: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Garcia
While doing research on radiation, discovered that rats avoided drinking from the water bottles in the radiation chambers
Began pairing a nausea-producing drug with different foods to create a taste aversion to certain foods
Taste aversion is our brain telling us we’re being poisoned (regardless of whether or not the food made us sick!)
![Page 36: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Cognition and Biological
Predispositions
![Page 37: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Biological Perspective
We are predisposed to learn things that affect our survivalPreparedness (Martin Seligman)
We are predisposed to avoid threats our ancestors faced--food that made us sick, storms, heights, snakes, etc.--but not modern-day threats--cars, water pollution, etc.
![Page 38: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Biological Predispositions
It was once believed that conditioning occurred the same in all animals and that you could associate any neutral stimulus with a response. Nope!
Animals have biological predispositions to associating certain stimuli over others
Ex: You eat a new food and later get sick. You will be conditioned to associate the taste of the FOOD with
getting sick NOT the music playing in the restaurant, the plate it was
served on, or the perfume your neighbor was wearingBirds hunt by sight and will more quickly become
conditioned to the SIGHT of tainted food
![Page 39: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Cognition and Robert Rescorla (1940- )
Early behaviorists believed that learned behaviors of various animals could be reduced to mindless mechanisms
Rescorla developed a theory emphasizing the importance of cognitive processes in classical conditioning
Pointed out that subjects had to determine (think) whether the CS was a reliable predictor of the UCS
![Page 40: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Example
Therapists give alcoholics drink containing a nausea-producing drug to condition them to avoid alcohol
Because clients KNOW that the drug is what is actually causing the nausea, it doesn’t work so well.
![Page 41: Classical Conditioning. A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f69b0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Examples of Classical Conditioning
Conditioned Fears Driving a car (neutral event). Experience a panic attack while
driving associate driving with causing panic responseConditioning of emotional responses Cancer patients associating the chemo room with nausea Treating drug/alcohol addiction by pairing a nausea-
producing drug with the drug of addictionChild who is afraid of rabbits because one bit him when
he was young, expose the child to rabbits in safe environments repeatedly until the behavior is extinguished
Extinguish feelings of anxiety associated with trauma (PTSD)
