1. Understand Pavlov's analysis of the nature of the conditioning process and the 3 conclusions that followed from this analysis.

2. Understand Rescorla's experiments and be able to differentiate between contiguity and contingency descriptions of a situation, using both event diagrams and verbal descriptions.

3. How does Pavlov decide whether you should assign a stimulus to be either a CS or UCS?

4. Understand Kamin's blocking experiment, and how this effect was interpreted to produce a new description of the nature of the conditioning process.

5. Know the difference between Pavlov's analysis and the modern approach to predicting a classical conditioning effect.

6.  What is Cannon's concept of homeostasis, and how does that apply to how we should think about how stimuli affect us?

7. Understand Solomon's "opponent process" model. What is "affective contrast" and "affective dynamics"? What controls the "a-process" and the "b-process" and why do they change differently over time?

8. Understand Siegel's analysis of the classical conditioning effects in short and long-term heroin use.

9. How does Siegel explain tolerance, craving, and withdrawal effects?

10. Be able to contrast Pavlov's and Rescorla's analysis of classical conditioning to concrete situations.

11. Be able to apply Pavlov's, Siegel's, and Kamin's analysis of classical conditioning to concrete situations.

12.  Use the applications assignment for experience in how to answer applied questions.
