Contrary to the earlier belief that the brain and immune system operate independently of each other, scientists accidentally discovered a link working with rats in a classical conditioning paradigm.
What is classical conditioning paradigm?
- An unconditioned stimulus and a conditioned stimulus are provided in the classical conditioning paradigm.
- A shock is an example of an unconditioned stimulus that consistently causes an unconditioned response, such as leg flexion.
- Placing a neutral stimulus in front of a naturally occurring reflex is known as classical conditioning.
- In the famous dog experiment by Pavlov, salivation in reaction to food served as both the neutral signal and the naturally occurring reflex.
- There are three fundamental paradigms of classical conditioning: delay, trace, and context conditioning.
- The term "classical conditioning" describes learning that takes place when a neutral stimulus, like a tone, starts to be linked to a stimulus, like food, that inherently results in a behavior.
- After learning the association, the once neutral stimulus is enough to cause the behavior.
