Delay conditioning: In delay conditioning, the CS is presented and is overlapped by the presentation of the US. For example, if a person hears a buzzer for five seconds, during which time air is puffed into their eye, the person will blink. After several pairings of the buzzer and the puff, the person will blink at the sound of the buzzer alone ...
Short-delay conditioning: During short-delay conditioning the beginning of the presentation of the US is delayed relative to the start of the CS. A delay in eyeblink conditioning is considered short if it ranges from 100 to 720 milliseconds (msec). In other varieties of conditioning, the delay is considered short as long as it is shorter than ...
In operant conditioning, the delay reduction hypothesis (DRH; also known as delay reduction theory) is a quantitative description of how choice among concurrently available chained schedules of reinforcement is allocated.
Spontaneous recovery is a phenomenon of learning and memory that was first named and described by Ivan Pavlov in his studies of classical (Pavlovian) conditioning.In that context, it refers to the re-emergence of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a delay. [1]
Sensory preconditioning is usually followed by repeatedly pairing one of the NS (e.g., the light) with an unconditional stimulus (US, e.g., lemon juice on the tongue to produce salivation) until it elicits the response, which is now a conditioned response (CR, salivation, in this example). To accomplish this, delayed conditioning (see classical ...
Eyeblink conditioning (EBC) is a form of classical conditioning that has been used extensively to study neural structures and mechanisms that underlie learning and memory. The procedure is relatively simple and usually consists of pairing an auditory or visual stimulus (the conditioned stimulus (CS)) with an eyeblink -eliciting unconditioned ...
In Kamin's blocking effect [1] the conditioning of an association between two stimuli, a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US) is impaired if, during the conditioning process, the CS is presented together with a second CS that has already been associated with the unconditioned stimulus.
This type of conditioning forces the subject, in this particular example, a bunny, to remember to link the conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus. [2] The distinction between the two types of conditioning is of importance because the difference in the interstimulus interval (ISI) can have major effects on learning. [2]
