Chapter 4 Behavioral Learning Theories 4.2 Classical conditioning 4.2.2 Main ideas and concepts ● X experiments: o Prior to training: US(meat) produces UR(salivation), neutral stimulus(bell)does not produce any salivation.

The formerly neutral stimulus became a CS. (CS US UR)
4.2 Classical Conditioning 0 4.2.2 Main ideas and concepts o After training: presenting Cs(ringing the bell) produces Cr(salivation) o UR and cr are always the same kind of response. The magnitude of the cr is always less than that of the ur x experimental extinction: when a cs no longer elicits a Cr, experimental extinction is said to occurr lt results when the cs is presented to the organism and is not followed by reinforcement(UCS)
4.2 Classical Conditioning ⚫ 4.2.2 Main ideas and concepts ⚫ After training: presenting CS(ringing the bell) produces CR(salivation) ⚫ UR and CR are always the same kind of response.The magnitude of the CR is always less than that of the UR ⚫ ＊experimental extinction: when a CS no longer elicits a CR, experimental extinction is said to occurr.It results when the CS is presented to the organism and is not followed by reinforcement(UCS)
4.2 Classical Conditioning o 4.2.2 Main ideas and concept ts x Spontaneous recovery: after a period of time following extinction, if the cs is again presented to the animal, the cr will temporarily reappear. x Higher-order conditioning: Cs(light) CR(salivation). A new Cs(buzzer) o the original cs(ight). The buzzer) CR(Salivation). o UCS is called a primary reinforcer. Cs is called secondary reinforcer

Question about higher-order conditioning o Do you think it is possible to go beyond the third-order conditioning
Question about higher-order conditioning ⚫ Do you think it is possible to go beyond the third-order conditioning?
4.2 Classical Conditioning o 4.2.2 Main ideas and concepts o X Generalization: If we developed a CR for a special Cs(2000-cps(cycles per second) tone), some new Cs(higher frequency than 2000-cps or lower than 2000-cps)will also cause the original cr o The rule for generalization is the greater similarity to the original cs, the greater the magnitude of the cr
