3.4.1.1 Classical Conditioning

• What is the role of the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)?

  It triggers a response automatically without learning
• What is the role of the neutral stimulus in Classical Conditioning?

  It becomes associated with a natural response
• Why is food considered an Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) for infants?

  Because it triggers satisfaction without prior learning
• How does food act as an Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) for babies?

  It naturally satisfies and comforts them
• What does UCR stand for in psychology?

  Unconditioned Response
• What response does the sight of the bottle trigger over time?

  Feeling happy and satisfied
• What is the role of the Conditioned Stimulus (CS)?

  It triggers a response similar to the UCR
• What is the definition of Classical Conditioning?

  A learning process associating responses with stimuli
• What happens when the UCS and NS are paired together?

  Conditioning occurs, triggering similar responses
• What is the relationship between Unconditioned Stimulus and Unconditioned Response?

  The UCS naturally triggers the UCR
• What are the key terms related to stimuli and responses?

  • Unconditioned Stimulus: Naturally triggers a response
  • Unconditioned Response: Natural reaction to UCS
  • Neutral Stimulus: Doesn't trigger a response
  • Conditioned Stimulus: NS that triggers a response after conditioning
  • Conditioned Response: Learned reaction to CS
• Why is the Conditioned Response (CR) important in attachment formation?

  It helps form an attachment with caregivers
• What is the relationship between the Conditioned Stimulus (CS) and the Neutral Stimulus (NS)?

  The CS was originally a Neutral Stimulus
• How does Classical Conditioning work?

  It associates a natural response with a neutral stimulus
• What emotional response does the sight of the bottle elicit in the baby?

  Happiness and security in anticipation of food
• What is the significance of the caregiver in the context of attachment?

  They provide comfort through conditioning
• What does NS stand for in conditioning?

  Neutral Stimulus
• What is the name of the experiment described in the image?

  Pavlov's Dog Experiment
• What is the Conditioned Response (CR)?

  A learned reaction to the Conditioned Stimulus
• In Classical Conditioning, what does a baby learn to associate with being fed?

  The sight of their bottle
• What does CS stand for in conditioning?

  Conditioned Stimulus
• What are the stages of classical conditioning in attachment?

  • Before: Food (UCS) → Satisfaction (UCR)
  • During: Caregiver + Food → Satisfaction
  • After: Caregiver (CS) → Anticipation (CR)
• How does a Conditioned Response (CR) develop?

  It develops through pairing with the Unconditioned Stimulus
• How do babies associate caregivers with feelings of comfort?

  Through consistent meeting of basic needs
• What is the process of classical conditioning in attachment formation?

  • Baby's needs met by caregiver
  • Unconditioned stimulus: food
  • Unconditioned response: satisfaction
  • Neutral stimulus: caregiver's presence
  • Conditioned stimulus: caregiver's sight/voice
  • Conditioned response: feelings of comfort
• How do Conditioned Stimulus and Conditioned Response relate to each other?

  The CS triggers the CR after conditioning
• What is the unconditioned stimulus shown in the image?

  Food
• What is the Unconditioned Response (UCR)?

  It is a natural reaction without learning.
• What does CR stand for in classical conditioning?

  Conditioned Response
• In the context of UCR, what does the term "automatic" imply?

  It occurs without prior learning or conditioning.
• What is the foundation of a strong attachment according to classical conditioning?

  A bond formed through consistent care
• What happens to the caregiver during the conditioning process?

  They become associated with positive feelings
• How does the concept of UCR relate to classical conditioning?

  UCR is a natural response that can be conditioned.
• What does a Neutral Stimulus (NS) become after pairing?

  Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
• What does UCS stand for in psychology?

  Unconditioned Stimulus
• What are the stages of conditioning shown in the image?

  • Before conditioning
  • During conditioning
  • After conditioning
• How does the Unconditioned Response differ from a learned response?

  UCR occurs naturally, while learned responses require teaching.
• What role does the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) play in forming a Conditioned Response (CR)?

  It triggers the original unlearned response
• What feelings does the sight or voice of the mother evoke after conditioning?

  Feelings of satisfaction and comfort
• How does a Conditioned Stimulus (CS) develop?

  By being repeatedly paired with the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
