3.6 Classical Conditioning

• In classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) naturally triggers a response
• Steps in the pairing of UCS and NS in classical conditioning

  1️⃣ Present NS alone

  2️⃣ Pair NS with UCS

  3️⃣ Repeat pairing to create CS

  4️⃣ CS triggers CR alone
• Extinction in classical conditioning occurs when the CS is no longer paired with the UCS.


  True
• Provide an example of classical conditioning in everyday life.

  Fear of dentist's drill
• The unconditioned response (UCR) is a natural reaction to the UCS
• Classical conditioning involves the association of a neutral stimulus with a UCS
• The unconditioned response (UCR) is a natural reaction to the UCS
• What does the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) naturally trigger?

  Response
• What stimulus is paired with the UCS in Pavlov's experiments?

  Bell
• What is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) in classical conditioning?

  Stimulus that triggers UCR
• What is the unconditioned response (UCR) in Pavlov's experiments?

  Salivation
• What stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) after repeated pairing with the UCS?

  Bell
• Stages of acquiring the conditioned stimulus (CS)

  1️⃣ Neutral stimulus (NS) elicits no response

  2️⃣ NS is paired with UCS

  3️⃣ UCR occurs

  4️⃣ NS becomes CS

  5️⃣ CS elicits CR
• What does the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) trigger in classical conditioning?

  Natural response
• What is the conditioned response (CR) a learned reaction to?

  Conditioned stimulus (CS)
• Dogs salivate to a bell if the bell has been paired with food.


  True
• Pavlov's experiments used a bell as the conditioned stimulus.


  True
• The unconditioned response (UCR) is a natural reaction to the unconditioned stimulus
• The acquisition of the conditioned stimulus (CS) involves repeated pairing of the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus
• The unconditioned response (UCR) is a learned reaction to the UCS.

  False
• What is the conditioned stimulus (CS) in classical conditioning?

  NS paired with UCS
• What is spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning?

  Reappearance of extinguished CR
• How is classical conditioning defined in terms of learning?

  Association of NS with UCS
• In Pavlov's experiments, what was the conditioned stimulus (CS)?

  Bell
• In Pavlov's experiments, what was the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)?

  Food
• What stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) after pairing with the UCS?

  Neutral stimulus (NS)
• Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.


  True
• Salivation when the bell is rung in Pavlov's experiments is an example of a conditioned response.


  True
• The UCS is crucial in classical conditioning because it reliably elicits a natural response.


  True
• The neutral stimulus does not naturally trigger a response.


  True
• The pairing of the NS and UCS is the crucial step in classical conditioning
• What is the conditioned response (CR) in classical conditioning?

  Learned reaction to CS
• The unconditioned response (UCR) is a natural reaction to the UCS
• The conditioned stimulus (CS) was originally a neutral stimulus but now triggers a response
• Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus
• Why is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) crucial in classical conditioning?

  Reliably elicits a response
• What was the neutral stimulus (NS) in Pavlov's experiments?

  Bell
• The conditioned stimulus (CS) can elicit the conditioned response (CR) without the presence of the unconditioned stimulus (UCS).


  True
• The conditioned stimulus can elicit a conditioned response without the presence of the unconditioned stimulus.

  True
• Extinction in classical conditioning occurs when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus
