OBJECTIV
ES
To discuss the classical conditioning by Ivan Pavlov

To Explain the different stimuleses

 Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936)

A russian Pyscologist

One of the most famous

contributors the study of learningS.

Originally studying salivation and

digestion, Pavlov stumble dupon
what has become known as
“classical conditioning” while he
was experimenting on his dog.
 CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

A LEARNING IN WHICH A NEUTRAL STIMULUS COMES

TO BRING ABOUT A RESPONSE AFTER IT IS PAIRED WITH
A STIMULUS THAT NATURALLY BRINGS RESPONSE
Neutral Stimulus: This stimulus does not naturally cause the subject to respond in a certain way.

Unconditioned Stimulus: The stimulus that naturally is tied to a response that you can't control

Unconditioned Response: The response that is automatic

Conditioned Stimulus: The stimulus that starts out neutral but is paired with the unconditioned
stimulus

Conditioned Response: The response that you have learned

 Stimulus
an event, sensation, or experience that causes you to react.

• Visual stimulus: you see something

• Olfactory stimulus: you smell something

• Gastatory stimulus: you tasye something

• Auditory stimulues: you hear something

• Kinesthetic stimulus: you feel something

 KEY PRINCIPLES

Acquisition

Acquisition is the initial stage of learning, when a response is first established and gradually strengthened.

Extinction

Extinction is when the occurrences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In classical conditioning,
this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Spontaneous Recovery

A learned response can suddenly reemerge, even after a period of extinction.

 EXAMPLE
Every time your roommate leaves the room he says "Goodbye!" and
loudly slams the door, making you flinch. After this has happens a
number of times, your roommate says to you "Gotta go now.
Goodbye!" and you realize that you are flinching even before you hear
the door slam. Can you identify all the elements in this classical
conditioning program listed below?
