1. Classical Conditioning: Learning through association between CS and UCS
2. Example - Classical Conditioning: Bell ’food ’salivation
3. UCS / UCR: UCS naturally elicits UCR
4. Example - UCS / UCR: Food ’salivation
5. CS / CR: CS becomes predictor of UCS ’CR
6. Example - CS / CR: Bell ’salivation
7. Extinction: CR weakens when CS no longer predicts UCS
8. Example - Extinction: Bell without food ’salivation declines
9. Spontaneous Recovery: Reappearance of CR after extinction
10. Example - Spontaneous Recovery: Dog salivates again after rest
11. Stimulus Generalisation: CR to similar stimuli
12. Example - Stimulus Generalisation: Fear of white rat ’fear of furry objects
13. Stimulus Discrimination: CR only to specific CS
14. Example - Stimulus Discrimination: Fear of white rat but not brown rabbit
15. Interstimulus Interval: Optimal timing between CS and UCS
16. Example - Interstimulus Interval: Bell before food
17. Predictiveness (Rescorla-Wagner): CS must predict UCS
18. Example - Predictiveness (Rescorla-Wagner): Tone predicts shock ’fear
19. Blocking: Prior CS prevents learning new CS
20. Example - Blocking: Bell blocks light-food learning
21. Latent Inhibition: Pre-exposure to CS slows learning
22. Example - Latent Inhibition: Bell repeatedly without food ’slower conditioning
23. Prepared Learning: Biological predispositions to learn certain associations
24. Example - Prepared Learning: Taste ’nausea (rats)
25. Species-Specific Constraints: Instinctive behaviours override conditioning
26. Example - Species-Specific Constraints: Pigs rooting instead of depositing coins
27. Synaptic Plasticity (Aplysia): Learning strengthens synapses
28. Example - Synaptic Plasticity (Aplysia): More neurotransmitter release
29. Long-Term Potentiation (LTP): Persistent increase in synaptic strength
30. Example -Long-Term Potentiation (LTP): Neurons fire more readily
31. Amygdala & Fear Conditioning: Central to fear learning
32. Example - Amygdala & Fear Conditioning: Tone ’shock
