Storyboard Text
- Story of Classical Conditioning
- Cant wait to run and greet my owner when she comes home....I'm happy to see her and we always go out to play!
- Before Conditioning
- door knob jiggles
- Owner's here! Play Time!
- Before Conditioning
- Rumble
- Rumble of owners motorcycle pulling up outside
- I hear a noise..but I still wish my owner was here to play..I'll wait...
- Classical conditioning learning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a stimulus that causes a reflexive response, and over time, arrives at a point where that neutral stimulus alone elicits the same reflexive response.
- During Conditioning
- Rumble
- Rumble of owners motorcycle pulling up outside...and then shortly aftward... the door knob jiggles
- Whenever Spot the dog hears the doorknob jiggle, she jumps up and runs to the door in anticipation to greet her owner. The unconditioned stimulus is the owner's jiggle of the doorknob prior to entering the room and the unconditioned response is Spot getting up and running to the door to greet her owner.
- After Conditioning
- Rumble
- Sounds from owners motorcycle pulling up..
- Spots owner rides her motorcycle home from work daily. Spot hears the sound of her owner's motorcycle as it pulls up outside but does not associate the sound with her owner's arrival at the door. The sound of the owner's motorcycle as it pulls up outside is considered the neutral stimulus. Spot not getting up to run to the door showed that the motorcycle sounds created no conditioned response.
- Daily over the next few months, Spot hears her owner arrive on her motorcycle and then jiggle the doorknob before coming inside. Spot responds by running to the door to greet her owner. Spot is learning to associate both the jiggle of the doorknob and the sound of the motorcycle with her owner's arrival which together are triggering the original unconditioned response of running to the door.
- Owner's here! Play Time!
- Over time, Spot has learned to recognize the sound of her owner's motorcycle as it pulls up and now when hearing it, runs to the door in anticipation of her owner's arrival. Spot has now learned to accept a once neutral stimulus (the sounds of her owner's motorcycle arriving), as a conditioned stimulus and continues to run to the door to greet her owner. Spots running to the door upon hearing the motorcycle pull up is now a conditioned response.
- Owner's here! Play Time!
