Ideas of classical conditioning originate from old philosophical theories. However,

it was the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov who elucidated classical

conditioning. His work provided a basis for later behaviorists like John Watson.

Pavlov’s Experiments

Before conditioning, food (Unconditioned Stimulus, US) produces salivation

(Unconditioned Response, UR). However, the tone (neutral stimulus) does not.

Pavlov’s Experiments

During conditioning, the neutral stimulus (tone) and the US (food) are paired,

resulting in salivation (UR). After conditioning, the neutral stimulus (now

Conditioned Stimulus, CS) elicits salivation (now Conditioned Response, CR)

AcquisitionAcquisition is the initial learning stage in

classical conditioning in which an association between a neutral stimulus and an

unconditioned stimulus takes place.

1. In most cases, for conditioning to occur, the neutral stimulus needs to come before the unconditioned stimulus.

2. The time in between the two stimuli should be about half a second.

Acquisition

The CS needs to come half a second before the US for acquisition to occur.

Extinction

When the US (food) does not follow the CS (tone), CR (salivation) begins to

decrease and eventually causes extinction.

Spontaneous RecoveryAfter a rest period, an extinguished CR (salivation)

spontaneously recovers, but if the CS (tone) persists alone, the CR becomes extinct again.

Stimulus Generalization

Tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the CS is called generalization.

Pavlov conditioned the dog’s salivation (CR) by

using miniature vibrators (CS) on the thigh. When

he subsequently stimulated other parts of the dog’s body, salivation

dropped.

Stimulus DiscriminationDiscrimination is the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli

that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.

Extending Pavlov’s Understanding

Pavlov and Watson considered consciousness, or mind, unfit for the

scientific study of psychology. However, they underestimated the importance of cognitive processes and biological

constraints.

Page 12: Classical Conditioning Chapter 7, Lecture 2 “For many people, the name Ivan Pavlov rings a bell.” - David Myers.

Cognitive Processes

Early behaviorists believed that learned behaviors of various animals could be

reduced to mindless mechanisms.

However, later behaviorists suggested that animals learn the predictability of a stimulus, meaning they learn expectancy or awareness of a stimulus (Rescorla &

Wagner, 1972).

Biological Predispositions

Pavlov and Watson believed that laws of learning were similar for all animals.

Therefore, a pigeon and a person do not differ in their learning.

However, behaviorists later suggested that learning is constrained by an

animal’s biology.

Biological Predispositions

John Garcia

Garcia showed that the duration between the CS and the US may be long (hours),

but yet result in conditioning. A biologically adaptive CS

(taste) led to conditioning but other stimuli (sight or sound)

did not.

Biological Predispositions

Even humans can develop classically to conditioned nausea.

Pavlov’s greatest contribution to psychology

is isolating elementary behaviors from more

complex ones through objective scientific

procedures.

1. Former crack cocaine users should avoid cues (people, places) associated with previous drug use.

2. Through classical conditioning, a drug (plus its taste) that affects the immune response may cause the taste of the drug to invoke the immune response.

Applications of Classical Conditioning

Watson used classical conditioning procedures to

develop advertising campaigns for a number of

organizations, including Maxwell House, making the “coffee break” an American

custom.
