2 H H Pavlov & Thorndike LABORATORY SETTING

3 H H learn temporal relationships H H value of CS changes, predicts occurrence of US p.10 fig.1.4 H H food = unconditioned stimulus (US)... H H salivation = unconditioned response (UR) to US H H bell = conditioned stimulus (CS)... H H CS (naïve)  0 response H H CS + US pairing = training H H CS (trained)  salivation = conditioned response (CR) H H Pavlov: classical or Pavlovian conditioning, dogs H H stimulus “value” changes when paired with another LABORATORY SETTING

4 H H cat associates own escape behavior with box features H H food in view outside box (motivation) H H levels of difficulty ( e.g., pull string to excape) H H record time for escape p.10 fig.1.4 H H Thorndike: instrumental or operant conditioning H H hungry cats, puzzle boxes LABORATORY SETTING

5 H H in both, animals learn... H H existence of stimuli H H temporal relationships among stimuli H H in operant only, animals learn... H H relationships between stimuli & their own behavior H H in classical, animals receive... H H measured stimulus, controlled by experimenter H H in operant, animals receive... H H stimulus determined by time to elicit behavior H H learning is usually a combination of classical & operant LABORATORY SETTING

6 H H test: previously unseen pairs H H able to transfer the “rule” to new situations H H did not simply learn pattern of cards H H learned that relationship between stimuli is critial p.12 fig.1.5 H H train: food reward for turning H H right if top lighter H H left if top darker H H what do animals associate in associative learning ? H H rats, radial arm maze (B) H H left & right choices H H paired light & dark stimuli (A) LABORATORY SETTING

7 H H other tests using the radial arm maze p.12 fig.1.5 H H trained to retrieve food from each arm, no revisits H H remember which arms visited within each trial H H no need to remember info from trial to trial H H uses working memory H H trained with food in some arms H H memory from trial to trial H H uses reference memory LABORATORY SETTING
