IVAN PAVLOV THEORY HOW TO
Therefore the food is an unconditioned stimulus, because it causes a reflex response (salivation) automatically and without the dog having to learn how to salivate. The Unconditioned Stimulus (food): (UCS) An unconditioned stimulus is anything, which can evoke a response without prior learning or conditioning.įor example, when a dog eats some food it causes his mouth to salivate. Note: In its strictest definition classical conditioning is described as a previously neutral stimulus which causes a reflex (stimulus means something which causes a physical response). So let’s look at each of these classical conditioning components in more detail now The unconditioned reflex/response.(UCR).
We can gain a better understanding of classical conditioning by looking at the various components involved in his experiment. Components Involved In Classical Conditioning In this simple but ingenious experiment, Pavlov showed how a reflex (salivation, a natural bodily response) could become conditioned (modified) to an external stimulus (the bell) thereby creating a conditioned reflex/response. Later Pavlov would ring a bell every time he would bring the food out, until eventually, he could get the dogs to salivate just by ringing the bell and without giving the dogs any food. In order to do this he first showed them food, the sight of which caused them to salivate. In these experiments, Pavlov trained his dogs to salivate when they heard a bell ring. One of the best-known examples of classical conditioning can be found with the Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov and his experiments on dogs. Pavlov- Classical Conditioning (1849 – 1936)Ĭlassical conditioning is a term used to describe learning which has been acquired through experience.
