Key Concepts

Part 2 of 7 — Key Concepts

1. UCS (unconditioned stimulus)

naturally triggers response (food)

2. UCR (unconditioned response)

natural response to UCS (salivation)

3. CS (conditioned stimulus)

neutral stimulus paired with UCS (bell)

4. CR (conditioned response)

learned response to CS (salivation to bell)

Check Your Understanding 🎯

Key Points

• UCS (unconditioned stimulus): naturally triggers response (food)
• UCR (unconditioned response): natural response to UCS (salivation)
• CS (conditioned stimulus): neutral stimulus paired with UCS (bell)
• CR (conditioned response): learned response to CS (salivation to bell)

Acquisition & Extinction

Part 3 of 7 — Acquisition & Extinction

1. Acquisition

CS-UCS pairing builds the association

2. Extinction

CS presented alone → CR weakens

3. Spontaneous recovery

CR reappears after rest period

4. Higher-order conditioning

CS1 paired with CS2

Check Your Understanding 🎯

Key Points

• Acquisition: CS-UCS pairing builds the association
• Extinction: CS presented alone → CR weakens
• Spontaneous recovery: CR reappears after rest period
• Higher-order conditioning: CS1 paired with CS2
