1. Why did Pavlov think that classical conditioning was important? Understand Pavlov's analysis of how classical conditioning occurs and the 3 conclusions that followed from this analysis.

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

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

4. 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?

5. Understand Siegel's analysis of the classical conditioning effects in short and long-term heroin use. How does he explain tolerance, craving, and withdrawal effects?

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