What is classical conditioning?
Who was Pavlov and what did he ‘discover’?
Can you distinguish between the UCS/UCR/CS/CR?
o How does an unconditioned stimulus differ from a conditioned
stimulus
Why did Watson believe that psychology should focus on Behaviorism?
How can generalization and discrimination be considered opposites?
Why is it significant that things like immune response and emotion can be
classically conditioned?

Cognitive Role in Conditioning
