Module 15- Classical Conditioning
Change in Behavior and Cognition
*SSPBC1: The student will identify the characteristics of and
major approaches to learning.
a. Identify learning as a relatively permanent change in behavior
based on experience.
b. Explain the behavioral approach to learning.
c. Compare and contrast the paradigms of classical and operant
conditioning.
d. Describe changes in behavior using the social learning theory.
Read the situation described on p. 281. Has
this ever happened to you?
Did you realize that this is actually learning?
-Classical conditioning is a form of learning by
association. There is a stimulus which
produces a response. After a while the
response will always be paired with the
stimulus. (It is all related to behavior.)
-Behaviorism- school of thought where you
only study observable behaviors. John B.
Watson is the pioneer of this perspective. This
use to be the dominant theory but it no longer
is due to the consideration of cognition (mental
processes).
EQ- What are the three basic processes in
classical conditioning?
Parts of classical conditioning
 Unconditioned stimulus- something
that triggers a response
 Unconditioned response- an automatic
response to the unconditioned stimulus
 Conditioned stimulus- (also known as a
neutral stimulus) – something that was
once neutral that now causes as response
 Conditioned response- the response to
the conditioned stimulus
Acquisition- the process of developing a
learned response
Has there ever been something that you didn’t
like, that you ended up liking? This is an
example of extinction. Your response to not
liking something is gone. If your response
returns, this is called spontaneous recovery.
Ivan Pavlov- EQ -What role did he play in the
study of classical conditioning?
Yes, I want you to answer this question!
EQ-What are generalization and
discrimination, and in what way are they
opposites?
Generalization- when you have the same
response to similar stimuli
Discrimination-when you have a different
response to similar stimuli
Give 2 examples of each from your own life…
Is there a particular food that you don’t like?
How many times did you have to eat it to know
you didn’t like it? This is taste aversion, a
learned response after 1 pairing of a stimulus
and response.
Module 15 activity
You will be assigned a number 1-7. Your job is
to illustrate your assigned topic in classical
conditioning. You can draw a picture, write a
story, create a poem, rap or song. You can do a
skit too!
