Publisher SummaryInstead of specifying the notion of information formally, this chapter examines some of the empirical operations and results which have led investigators to the intuition that information matters in conditioning. The chapter then suggests a theory, which acknowledges the importance of these operations in producing conditioning and discuss some empirical assessments of that theory. To the degree that the theory accounts for those operations which suggest the intuition of information, it can be viewed as an explication of that intuition, however, that notion does not enter into the theory itself. As the theory is explored, a number of points are discovered at which it provides a better account of the data than does the original intuition. Consequently, it is suggested that although the informational intuition serves an initially useful purpose, it does not provide an adequate conceptualization around which the understanding of Pavlovian conditioning can be organized.

What are the 4 principles of conditioning?Principles of Classical Conditioning
Those principles are: acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, stimulus generalization, and stimulus discrimination.
What are some examples of respondent conditioning?In respondent conditioning, the US could be an appetitive or aversive stimulus. For instance, in appetitive conditioning, the US would be something desirable such as candy which makes us happy. Other examples could include water, food, sex, or drugs.
Which procedure is most likely to result in respondent conditioning?T F Backward conditioning is most likely to result in respondent conditioning. T F During spontaneous recovery, the magnitude of the CR is usually smaller than the magnitude of the CR that occurred prior to extinction.
