Contemporary Theories
Nature of the CR – stimulus substitution theory, SOP and AESOP theory
Nature of the conditioning process:
Predictiveness of the CS – the Rescorla-Wagner associative model
Comparator theory
Mackintosh’s attentional theory
Retrospective processing approach

Stimulus-Substitution Theory
What is the nature of the CR – is it just the
UCR or is it different?
Pavlov – stimulus-substitution theory:
The CS stimulates the same areas of the brain as
the UCS, producing the same response.
Activation of CS with UCS establishes a neural
connection between brain areas.

Connections are formed between
brain regions

Conditioned Opponent Response
The CR and UCR are often different:
CR of fear is different than UCR of pain.
Siegel – best evidence of difference: Morphine (UCS) produced analgesia, reduced pain (UCR)
Light or tone (CS) produced hyperalgesia, increased pain (CR).
Rats remove paws from heat quickly with CS, slowly with UCS.
Insulin (glycemia) works the same way

Conditioning of the Opponent
Response (Tolerance)
The M-P-M condition
presents the CS without the
UCS so the tolerance is
extinguished.
![Page 7: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Drug Tolerance Overdoses
Elimination of a CS results in a stronger
response to the UCS, drug.
Extinction of responding to environ-mental cues
strengthens drug response
Changing the context in which a drug is
administered increases response to the drug.
Novel environment does not elicit an opponent
CR.

SOP Theory
Sometimes Opponent-Process theory (SOP) – explains why CR varies.
UCS elicits primary A1 (fast) and secondary A2 (longer) responses.
A1 & A2 can be same or different.
Conditioning only occurs to A2 – the CR is always an A2 response.
When A1 & A2 differ, UCR & CR differ.
![Page 9: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SOP Explains Timing Effects
None of the previous models explain why the
timing of CS-US matters.
SOP model requires that both CS and UCS be
in the A1 stage for learning to occur.
With delay more elements of CS decay from A1,
becoming A2.

Two-Phase Reactions
Shock – results in:
A1 -- Initial agitated hyperactivity
A2 -- Long-lasting hypoactivity (freezing)
CER (fear) elicited by CS is A2
Morphine – results in:
A1 – sedation, analgesia & hypoactivity
A2 – hyperactivity two hours later & hyperalgesia (greater pain sensitivity)
CR elicited by CS is A2 (hyper)
![Page 14: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A2 Morphine Hyperactivity
![Page 15: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
When A1 & A2 Are the Same
Grau showed that unconditioned responding
to radiant heat produced:
Instant, short-duration hypoalgesia (decreased
sensitivity to pain)
Followed by persistent hypoalgesia
The existence of distinct A1 & A2 responses
demonstrated using naloxone, which blocks
A2 (opioid) but not A1 (non-opioid).

Affective Extension of SOP Theory
Why do different A2 responses have different optimal CS-UCS intervals?
Two distinct UCR sequences activate distinct A1 & A2 sequences:
Sensory
Emotive
These distinct sequences can have different strengths, time scales (latencies), or eliciting CS’s.

Rescorla-Wagner Theory
There is a maximum associative strength between CS and UCS.
UCS determines the limit
Strength gained on each training trial depends on prior training.
More learning early, less later on
Rate of conditioning varies.
Conditioning of a CS depends on prior conditioning to other stimuli.
![Page 20: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rates of Conditioning Vary
![Page 21: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
UCS Preexposure Effect
If the UCS is encountered without the CS prior to pairing of the two, less learning occurs.
UCS becomes associated with other environmental stimuli (without CS).
Since there is a limit to association strength, some is drained off by such prior associations.
CS-UCS association is weakened.
![Page 22: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Problems with Rescorla-Wagner
Overshadowing – salient cues have more
associative strength.
Sometimes a salient cue potentiates another cue
instead of overshadowing.
Garcia says cues are indexed.
R-W says cues are seen as unitary stimulus.
Unclear which explanation is correct.

UCS Preexposure Effect
![Page 24: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
More Problems
CS preexposure effect – appearance of CS without UCS prior to learning weakens learning.
Shouldn’t have any effect according to Rescorla-Wagner theory, but it does.
Cue-deflation effect – extinction of a more salient cue enhances learning for the less salient cue.
Should be no change according to R-W.
![Page 25: Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioningnalvarado/PSY402 PPTs/New Klein/PDFs...Chapter 5 Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning Contemporary Theories Nature of the CR – stimulus](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/610eba333b4bc940eb5b2631/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Comparator Theory
If two CS’s are associated, extinction of one should reduce responding to the other.
Sometimes true, other times not.
CS-UCS associations exist for many stimuli but are exhibited only for the strongest.
Comparator theory says the CS’s are judged in relation to each other.

Attentional View
Mackintosh – learned irrelevance occurs during preexposure of CS.
Animals exposed to a novel stimulus exhibit an orienting response.
No orienting with preexposure.
Habituation results in failure of conditioning – no attention is paid to a habituated stimulus.
Pairing of CS/UCS in novel context results in learning.

Learned Irrelevance

Retrospective Processing
Most theories assume the level of responding will be constant after learning.
Baker & Mercier suggest association can change after learning.
Retrospective processing – CS-UCS contingency reevaluated after learning.
Backward blocking – support for theory
Suggests animals have mental representations, memory for events.
