B: Procedure: Classical conditioning
Pavlov’s experiment

STEP 1: CHOOSING STIMULUS AND

RESPONSE

STEP 2: ESTABLISHING CLASSICAL

CONDITIONING

STEP 3: TESTING FOR CONDITIONING

 CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
B: Procedure: Classical conditioning
Pavlov’s experiment

STEP 1: CHOOSING STIMULUS AND RESPONSE

 Neutral stimulus: The bell

 Unconditioned stimulus: Food

 Unconditioned response: saliva

6
 CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
B: Procedure: Classical conditioning
Pavlov’s experiment

STEP 2: ESTABLISHING CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

 Neutral stimulus + Unconditioned stimulus = Unconditioned

response

 (The bell) + (Food) = saliva

STEP 3: TESTING FOR CONDITIONING

Conditioned stimulus conditioned response

( the bell) (saliva)

 So what happened to Carla?

 Apply Pavlov’s classical conditioning to the case.

 Identify the stimulus and unconditioned stimulus

and unconditioned response
