1. Know the history of the concept of the reflex: Descartes/Hall vs. Pavlov/Skinner.  What is the definition of a reflex for each pair?

2. Be able to read/describe an event diagram, identify and/or label the events in a conditioning trial both before and after conditioning has taken place.  What is the hallmark of the classical conditioning procedure?

3. Be able to read and label event diagrams of the different acquisition procedures (delay, trace, simultaneous, temporal, backwards).

4. Be able to identify and compare the effectiveness of the acquisition procedures in producing a strong CS.

5. Be able to read a description of a conditioning situation, translate it into an event diagram, identify the procedure, label the events, and discuss conditioning effects.

6. Be able to identify an extinction procedure and understand Pavlov's interpretation of extinction and the meaning of the "spontaneous recovery" effect. Why does "rapid reacquisition" of conditioning occur according to Pavlov?

7. Understand how Pavlov thinks about excitatory and inhibitory conditioning.
