Lesson 4: Classical Conditioning

Thursday, 4 April 2013

Explain the difference between developmental plasticity and adaptive plasticity.

Explanation of the difference should refer to developmental plasticity as primarily involving

changes in the brain’s neural structure in response to experience during its growth and

development, and

adaptive plasticity as primarily involving changes occurring in the brain’s neural structure to

enable adjustment to experience, to compensate for lost function and/or to

maximise remaining functions in the event of brain damage.

Model Response

Describe Pavlov’s original experiments

Describe and apply the key elements of classical conditioning (conditioned stimulus, unconditioned

stimulus, conditioned response, unconditioned response, and neutral stimulus)
