Abstract
A defining feature of Pavlovian conditioning is that the unconditioned stimulus (US) is delivered whether or not the animal performs a conditioned response (CR). This has lead to the question: Does CR performance play any role in conditioning? Between the 1930s and 1970s, a consensus emerged that CR acquisition is driven by CS-US (CS, conditioned stimulus) experiences, and that CRs play a minimal role, if any. Here we revisit the question and present 2 new quantitative methods to evaluate whether CRs influence the course of learning. Our results suggest that CRs play an important role in Pavlovian acquisition, in such paradigms as rabbit eye blink conditioning, pigeon autoshaped key pecking, and rat autoshaped lever pressing and magazine entry.

巴甫洛夫条件反射的一个定义特征是,无论动物是否执行条件反应(CR),都会传递非条件刺激(US)。这就引出了一个问题:CR表现在条件反射中起作用吗?在20世纪30年代和70年代之间,一种共识出现了,即CR习得是由CS- us (CS,条件刺激)经验驱动的,如果有的话,CR起的作用是最小的。在这里,我们重新审视这个问题,并提出了两种新的定量方法来评估cr是否影响学习过程。研究结果表明,在兔眼眨眼条件反射、鸽子自形键啄和大鼠自形杠杆按压和杂志输入等习得范式中,CRs在巴甫洛夫习得中起着重要作用。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c) 2019 APA,版权所有)。
