Page 3: Complex Learning Mechanisms
This page explores advanced concepts in classical conditioning, including acquisition, extinction, and higher-order conditioning.
Vocabulary:
- Acquisition: The point where the NS becomes a CS
- Extinction: When the CS no longer triggers the CR
- Spontaneous Recovery: The unexpected return of an extinct CR
- Higher-Order Conditioning: Conditioning involving three or more stimuli
Highlight: Learning associations aren't permanently deleted during extinction but can resurface through spontaneous recovery.
Example: In higher-order conditioning, a previously conditioned stimulus can serve as an unconditioned stimulus for new learning, creating a chain of associated stimuli.
