What does classical conditioning consist of?

Classical Conditioning: a learning process that creates new reflexes

Select all apply

• Reflex

• Stimulus

• Response

• Habituation

The CR occurs in response to similar conditioned stimuli

Ex: A dog conditioned to salivate to a tone of a particular pitch will also salivate with in response to tones of higher and lower pitch

• Generalization

• Discrimination

The CR occurs only in response to one specific CS (requires discrimination training)

Ex: Dog learns to salivate only in response to particular pitch

• Generalization

• Discrimination

Who found Behaviorism

• John B. Watson

• Pavlov

Reflects the impact of an action’s consequences on its recurrence

• Operant Conditioning

• Instrumental Conditioning

• Behaviorism

• Classical Conditioning

Is this a fast or slow rate?

• Fast

• Slow

Is this a fast or slow rate?

• Fast

• Slow

Successively closer approximations to the desired response are reinforced until the desired response finally occurs and can be reinforced

• Shaping of New Operant Responses

• Extinction of Operantly Conditioned Responses

An operantly conditioned response declines in rate and eventually disappears if it no longer results in a reinforcer

• Shaping of New Operant Responses

• Extinction of Operantly Conditioned Responses

when a particular response only sometimes produces a reinforcer

• Partial Reinforcement

• Continuous Reinforcement
