The readings:
Short-delayed conditioning. The most frequently used procedure for Pavlovian conditioning involves delaying the start of the US slightly after the start of the CS on each trial. This procedure is called short-delayed conditioning. The critical feature of short-delayed conditioning is that the CS starts each trial, and the US is presented after a brief (less than 1 minute) delay. The CS may continue during the US or end when the US begins.
Trace conditioning. The trace-conditioning procedure is similar to the short-delayed procedure in that the CS is presented first and is followed by the US. However, in trace conditioning, the US is not presented until some time after the CS has ended. This leaves a gap between the CS and US. The gap is called the trace interval.
Long-delayed conditioning. The long-delayed conditioning procedure is also similar to the short-delayed conditioning in that the CS starts before the US. However, in this case, the US is delayed much longer (510 minutes or more) than in the short-delayed procedure. Importantly, the long-delayed procedure does not include a trace interval. The CS lasts until the US begins.
Simultaneous conditioning. Perhaps the most obvious way to expose subjects to a CS and the US is to present the two stimuli at the same time. This procedure is called simultaneous conditioning. The critical feature of simultaneous conditioning is that the CS and US are presented concurrently.
Backward conditioning. The last procedure depicted in Figure 3.8 differs from the others in that the US occurs shortly before, rather than after, the CS. This technique is called backward conditioning.
Based on the above explanation, are the following examples and definitions good and accurate, if not, what suggestions do you have
1- Short-delay conditioning states that CS initiates the motion, and the US is presented after a short delay.
For example, the students in a class hear the bell that initiates the action, then they begin to get up and leave soon after it rings.
2- long-delay conditioning is similar to short-delay conditioning, except the US is delayed much longer, does not include trace interval, and CS lasts until the US begins. (DomJan, 2013)
For example, you want to learn to “Tango” dance. You take a class and pay attention to the cues and steps from your trainer. As you keep practicing, after a while, you learn how to dance well.
3- Simultaneous conditioning is when CS and US are displayed simultaneously.
For example, you complete your assignments using your laptop. Every time you see your computer, you remember assignments regardless of whether you have them or not.
4- Trace conditioning is also similar to the short-delayed, except there is a gap (trace interval) from when CS ends, and US begins.
For example, you watch your mom make lentil soup. Then go home and make it yourself.
5- Backward conditioning is different from other types because it is reversed or backward. The US happens slightly prior to the CS, unlike the other types where CS happens first.
For example, you want to potty train your child; you give him/her candy before you seat them on the potty chair.
