What are your thoughts on New
Year’s Resolutions? Make one
related to school. What do you
need to do in order to reach that
goal?
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 Stimulus (CS): an originally
neutral stimulus (NS) that, after
association with the UCS, comes to
trigger a response.
Conditioned
Response (CR): the
learned response to
the CS.

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.

UCSUCR-
CSCR-
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.

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?
