Classical Conditioning - Pavlov

• Pavlov was interested in understanding that dogs do not normally salivate when they see food - is this behaviour learnt?
• Who created the experiment with the dog?

  Pavlov
• What was the unconditioned stimulus in Pavlov's experiment?

  The food
• What was the unconditioned response in Pavlov's experiment?

  The dog salivating
• What role did the bell play initially in the experiment?

  It was the neutral stimulus
• How did Pavlov create an association between the bell and the dog's salivation?

  By presenting food with the bell
• What happened to the bell after the association was formed?

  It became the conditioned stimulus
• What was the conditioned response in Pavlov's experiment?

  The dog salivating at the bell
• What did the dog expect when Pavlov rang the bell?

  To receive food
• What are the key components of Pavlov's classical conditioning experiment?

  • Unconditioned stimulus: food
  • Unconditioned response: salivation
  • Neutral stimulus: bell
  • Conditioned stimulus: bell after association
  • Conditioned response: salivation at bell
• Who conducted the Little Albert Study?

  Watson and Rayner
• Originally, Albert showed no fear of the white rat (CS) and played happily with it, however after several pairing of the loud noise (UCS) and the white rat (CS), he displayed fear (UCR) in response to just the white rat.
