We did an experiment where my teacher conditioned us to salivate at the word pavlova.
Every time he said the word pavlova we could eat sherbert.
When he said "pavlovas experiment" we still salivated.
He said "pavlov's experiment" for a few more times until we did not salivate.
Then he said pavlov a few more times, and when he said "pavlov's experiment" we salivated again.
This shows acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery ect. (all elements of classical conditioning)
Our sac is based on this experiment and we have to write an aim for it.
What would the aim be?
Does this sound right?
"To determine the efficiency of classical conditioning and to investigate its elements"?
I would just like some help to know if I am on the right track, or if anyone has any better ideas.
And what would the conditioned stimulus be as well, saying "pavlov" or saying "pavlov's experiment"?
Thank you!
