WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:12.000 Classical Conditioning is a process of learning a response to a new stimulus through associative learning. 2 00:00:012.500 --> 00:00:20.000 It starts with an unconditioned stimulus (US) that elicits an unconditioned response (UR). 3 00:00:020.500 --> 00:00:24.000 We then introduce a neutral stimulus that does not cause a response. 4 00:00:024.500 --> 00:00:33.000 This stimulus, called the conditioned stimulus (CS), will be presented with or just before the US. 4 00:00:033.500 --> 00:00:41.000 After repeated pairing the CS will come to elicit a response of its own, called the conditioned response (CR). 5 00:00:041.500 --> 00:00:44.000 This process is called acquisition. 6 00:00:044.500 --> 00:00:53.000 If, after acquisition, the CS is repeatedly presented without the US, the participant will stop responding to the CS. 7 00:00:053.500 --> 00:00:56.000 This process is called extinction. 8 00:00:056.500 --> 00:01:05.000 After acquisition, there is a tendency for the participant to respond to stimuli that are similar but not identical to the CS. 9 00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:09.000 This process is called generalization. 10 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:16.000 A participant can be trained to not respond to these stimuli and only respond to the CS. 10 00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.000 This process is called discrimination.
