<p>@iluvpiano It’s all good :stuck_out_tongue: is my last one better? haha</p>

<p>Classcial conditioning example:
Before Conditioning:

  1. You have a UCS and a UCR. You also have a CS and No response.
  2. You then present the CS, UCS and the UCR.
  3. Finally, when presenting the CS, you have the CR.</p>

<p>Real life:
You have candy (UCS) and a child with an unconditioned response (drooling perhaps).
You then have the neutral stimulus (CS).</p>

<p>You present the CS, then UCS, which in turn makes the child drool (UCR).</p>

<p>Now, when you present the CS, the child drools (UCR) and is classically conditioned.</p>

<p>Yep, JoalFL, your last one is good!!!</p>

<p>Generalization is from Watson.
Ex. From distinct fear of rats to generalized fear of small, white animals.</p>

<p>sweet :smiley: haha</p>

<p>JoalFL. Go ahead! Talk to me about extinction, generalization and discrimination!</p>

<p>More info, better for all of us!</p>

<p>And generalization(using the same Pavlov situation) when the dog salivates to any tone presented.
Discrimination when it responds only to tones and not lights.
Extinction when the Conditioned stimulus, the tone, is not paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
Spontaneous recovery, when the dog after being extinct from its conditioning, hears a tone and randomly salivates and a lower intensity than before.
There is Second Level conditioning when the tone that causes salivation is paired with a red light. Then the dog starts to salivate at the jsut the red light even though it has never been paired with food.</p>

<p>nah i get extinction but is discrimination is when u basically discriminate against other things and focus on that one thing and generalization is the opposite of discrimination?</p>

<p>btw who was they guy who made the experiement with a lever and i think a rat and when the rat pulled the lever cheese fell out?</p>

<p>Awesome info. Thanks!</p>

<p>Do we need to know the schedules?
Fixed ratio, variable ratio v intervals?</p>

<p>also cna someone give me an example of canon-bard theory?</p>

<p>Yeah I would be familiar with the schedules, i always get mixed up with them, but variable ratio is the one most resistant to extinction.
And that was Skinner’s Box</p>

<p>Canon-Bard is basically, we’re angry because we punch, we’re sad because we cry, we’re happy because we smile. Like the stimulus to the emotion, then the physical response and then you interpreted the emotion as being angry, sad, or happy.</p>

<p>wait wait wait…nvm thats James-Lange!</p>

<p>i am actually getting very tired (yawn)</p>

<p>i have like 3xx words down. around 200 to go.</p>

<p>Canon-Bard is when you interpret the emotion at the same time as the physical response</p>

<p>so basically james lang is basically our physical response makes our emotional response.</p>

<p>need explanation of cannonbard.</p>

<p>alright got it</p>

<p>for the reinforcement schedules…ratio refers to #s of responses and interval refers to time…and variable vs fixed is self-exaplanatory…I remember them that way.</p>

<p>Ok, I’m going to sleep now! Good luck everyone and lets all hope for 5s!!!</p>

<p>Yeah James-Lange and Cannon-Bard are sort of opposites.</p>

<p>J-L was one after the other.
C-B was “at the same time”…especially when you’re in a dangerous situation.</p>

<p>goodnight! and goodluck guys!</p>

<p>maybe post our predicted scores tmrw after the test and see…</p>
