Most learning is associative learning Learning that certain events occur together.

Classical Conditioning (Pavlov & Watson)- association made between stimuli

Operant Conditioning (Thorndike & Skinner)- behavior has consequences

Observational Learning (Bandura)- observe model’s behavior and then repeat that behavior

It all started with:

Ivan Pavlov

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.

Unconditional Response (UCR): the naturally occurring response to the UCS.

Conditioned Response (CR): the learned response to the CS.

Conditioned Stimulus (CS): an originally neutral stimulus (NS) that, after association with the UCS, comes to trigger a response.

stimuli similar to the CS to elicit similar responses.

ability to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that does not signal UCS.

The diminishing of a conditioned response.

Will eventually happen when the UCS does not follow the CS.

Is extinction permanent?

The reappearance after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response.

Martin Seligman’s steak with sauce bearnaise aversion

Mrs. Janis’ White Castle Aversion UCS- CS- UCR- CR-

See if you can identify the UCS, UCR, CS and CR.

John Watson brought Classical Conditioning to psychology with his Baby Albert experiment.

This type of Classical Conditioning is also known as Aversive Conditioning.

UCS- UCR- CS- CR-

In the article “Pulling a Gag…” explain the problem faced by the sheepmen. How was Classical Conditioning used to solve it? Identify the UCS, UCR, CS, CR. Do you think their solution will work?
