    Classical Conditioning

    Classical conditioning is a type of learning where a stimulus acquires the ability to elicit a reflexive response that was originally provoked by a different stimulus. Pavlov's experiments with dogs demonstrated classical conditioning. He found that dogs would salivate when presented with meat powder. However, they also began to salivate when they heard the sound of the food dispenser before the powder arrived, as the sound had become associated with the food. This showed that a neutral stimulus, the sound, had become a conditioned stimulus that elicited the conditioned response of salivation through repeated pairing with the unconditioned stimulus of meat powder and the unconditioned response of salivation. Classical conditioning involves unconditioned stimuli, unconditioned responses, conditioned stimuli, and conditioned

    Classical Conditioning Classical Conditioning can be defined as a type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a reflexive response that was originally evoked by a different stimulus. A. Ivan Pavlov - Russian physiologist interested in behavior (digestion). 1) Pavlov was studying salivation in dogs - he was measuring the amount of salivation produced by the salivary glands of dogs by presenting them meat powder through a food dispenser. The dispenser would deliver the meat powder to which the animals salivated. However, what Pavlov noticed was that the food dispenser made a sound when delivering the powder, and that the dogs salivated before the powder was delivered. He realized that the dogs associated the sound (which occurred seconds before the powder actually arrived) with the delivery of the food. Thus, the dogs had "learned" that when the sound occurred, the meat powder was going to arrive. This is conditioning (Stimulus-Response; S-R Bonds). The stimulus (sound of food dispenser) produced a response (salivation). It is important to note that at this point, we are talking about reflexive responses (salivation is automatic).

    2) Terminology (if you are still confused by these definitions, please look in the nonPsychology jargon glossary on the AlleyDog.com homepage): a) Unconditioned Stimulus (US) - a stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response without any prior conditioning (no learning needed for the response to occur). b) Unconditioned Response (UR) - an unlearned reaction/response to an unconditioned stimulus that occurs without prior conditioning. c) Conditioned Stimulus (CS) - a previously neutral stimulus that has, through conditioning, acquired the capacity to evoke a conditioned response. d) Conditioned Response (CR) - a learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of prior conditioning. *These are reflexive behaviors. Not a result from engaging in goal directed behavior. e) Trial - presentation of a stimulus or pair of stimuli.
