Classical Conditioning

• Classical Conditioning

  Learning by Association (1927 Pavlov)
• Before Classical Conditioning

  • Food causes dogs to salivate
  • Unconditioned Stimulus (Food)-> Unconditioned Response (Saliva)
  • Tone that does not cause saliva
  • Tone = Neutral Stimulus
• During Classical Conditioning

  • Tone + Food -> Saliva
  • Neutral Stimulus (Tone) + Unconditioned Stimulus (Food) -> Unconditioned Response (Saliva)
• After Classical Conditioning

  • Repeat several times presenting food and tone - Pavlov found when the dogs hear the tone they began to salivate without any food present.
  • Conditioned Stimulus (Tone) -> Conditioned Response (Saliva)
