This document summarizes classical conditioning, which is a form of learning in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response. It provides examples of classical conditioning, such as Pavlov's experiment where a dog learned to associate the ringing of a bell with food. The key terms of classical conditioning are defined, including unconditioned stimulus, neutral stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response. Extinction of conditioned responses and spontaneous recovery are also described.
2. Unlearned or Learned?
Sugar cookies in the oven smell good
Seeing lightning means thunder comes next
Praise feels good
Lacoste is for old people
Jaws music means something bad is coming
Baby animals are cute
Spiders are scary
4. How Does Learning Work?
US (Unconditioned Stimulus)
NS (Neutral Stimulus)
CS (Conditioned Stimulus)
NS = CS always
UR (Unconditioned Response)
CR (Conditioned Response)
UR = CR always
5. How Does Learning Work?
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
[ . . . ]
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
US + Neutral Stimulus = UR
CS = CR (Phew, Finally)
6. How Does Learning Work?
<<Jim + Dwight>>
Red tomato Phobia
Claustrophobia
7. Partner exercise:
1) Identify in the Jim/Dwight video:
US (Unconditioned Stimulus)
NS (Neutral Stimulus) same as CS (Cond Stimulus)
UR (Uncond Response) same as CR (Cond Response)
2) Using Classical Conditioning lingo (US, NS, CS, UR, CR),
explain how a na誰ve dog owner accidentally trains her dog to
jump up on everyone who steps into the house.
Then, how would she stop the dogs behavior?
9. Challenge 1: If you were a cigarette
company, how would you make
smoking cool?
Challenge 2: If you were a public
health non-profit, how would you
make smoking uncool?
10. Why it works:
Attractive, happy people + cigs
Attractive, happy people + cigs
Attractive, happy people + cigs
Attractive, happy people + cigs
11. ANTI-Smoking ad:
Why it works:
Tobacco pushers + Rich, lonely old white men
Tobacco pushers + Rich, lonely old white men
Tobacco pushers + Rich, lonely old white men
Tobacco pushers + Rich, lonely old white men
Anti-smoking activists + Cool, young rebels
Anti-smoking activists + Cool, young rebels
Anti-smoking activists + Cool, young rebels
Anti-smoking activists + Cool, young rebels
BIG INSIGHT: Nobody cares how many smokers die from tobacco. We just
want a circle of fun, awesome friends & lovers surrounding us.
12. Marketing Politics (Trying to control the Classical Conditioning)
Left wants me to think:
Republicans + Selfish, science-hating rednecks
Republicans + Selfish, science-hating rednecks
Republicans + Selfish, science-hating rednecks
Republicans + Selfish, science-hating rednecks
____
Right wants me to think:
Democrats + Weak, entitled crybabies
Democrats + Weak, entitled crybabies
Democrats + Weak, entitled crybabies
Democrats + Weak, entitled crybabies
13. Creating a conditioned response = Classical conditioning
US + NS = UR
CS = CR
Killing a conditioned response = Extinction
Key Vocab:
14. How Does Extinction Work?
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
Bell + (no food) = (nothing) US + CS = CR
US + CS = CR
US + CS = (nothing)
US + CS = (nothing)
15. Spontaneous Recovery
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
Bell + (no food) = salivate
Bell + (no food) = (nothing)
US + CS = CR
US + CS = CR
US + CS = (nothing)
US + CS = (nothing)
US + CS = (nothing)
US + CS = (nothing)
US + CS = (nothing)
US + CS = CR
17. Unlearned or Learned?
Sugar cookies in the oven smell good
Seeing lightning means thunder comes next
Praise feels good
Lacoste is for old people
Jaws music means something bad is imminent
Baby animals are cute
Spiders are scary
18. Prepared Learning in Humans
Spider + Frightening experience = Fear
Spider = Fear
Puppy + Frightening experience = Fear
Puppy + Frightening experience = Fear
Puppy + Frightening experience = Fear
Puppy + Frightening experience = Fear
Puppy + Frightening experience = Fear
Puppy = Fear
