ASSIGNMENT 1:
Classical conditioning is one of those concepts that seems self-evident. Almost everyone has heard of Pavlov and his dogs even before taking an introductory psychology course after all. However, identifying the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned stimulus, the unconditioned response, and the conditioned response can trip up even those who believe they are prepared.
By completing this assignment, you will demonstrate that you are able to:
- Identify the principles of classical conditioning (UCS, UCR, CS, CR) including factors that affect the strength of a classically conditioned response (stimulus generalization, stimulus discrimination, delay conditioning, extinction, spontaneous recovery),
- Apply classical conditioning to everyday examples, and
- Organize and accurately present material
Instructions:
- Complete the Classical Conditioning in the Real World handout; be careful to follow all instructions and fully answer all questions. It’s important to fully answer each question to earn full credit.
- Submit the completed handout below.
