Classical conditioning

before conditioning

• Food -----> Salivation
• The dog naturally responds to seeing food with salivation.

food =Salivation

during condtioning

• Bell (introduced stimulus) with Food ---> Salivation
• The dog salivates while seeing the food and hearing the bell

bell + food = salivation

after conditioning

• Bell -----> Salivation
• The dog responds to just hearing the bell with salivation

bell =salivation

key concepts

• Unconditional Stimulus: a thing that can already elicit a response.
• Unconditioned Response: a thing that is already elicited by a stimulus.
• Unconditioned Relationship: an existing stimlus-response connection.

key concepts continued

• Conditioned Relationship: a new stimulus we deliver the same time we give the old stimulus.
• Conditioned Relationship: the new stimulus-response relationship we created by associating a new stimulus with an old response.

Summary

• Classical Conditioning is taking an unconditioned relationship between a stimulus and a response and introducing a new stimulus to get the old response.
