#2 Conditioning a CER in Sniffy

Once you have read chapter 2 of the Sniffy manual, set up a classical conditioning experiment from chapter 3 (exercises 1, 2, & 3), specifically a CER experiment in which you use tone as a CS and shock as a US. In classical conditioning, you will not reward Sniffy for anything so do not hit the space bar or lever and give Sniffy food during the experiment (you can play around with this outside of this experiment if you like). For this week's conference, please sum up what you did with Sniffy. In your post, first sum up exercise 1 by explaining what a CER is and how we conditioned a CER with Sniffy. In your posting, explain what CS and US you used and how you know which one is the CS and which is the US (hint, it is not the order of presentation, it has to do with the type of stimulus). Describe the CER and explain how you know you conditioned a CER in Sniffy. In summing up exercise 2, explain what extinction is and how you set up an extinction experiment with Sniffy (explain what was presented and what wasn't). What happened in the extinction experiment? Lastly, sum up exercise 3 by explaining what spontaneous recovery is and how you demonstrated this with Sniffy. You must post your response by Sunday, midnight.
