Compensatory-Response

Model

  • The compensatory-response model is one version of preparatory-response theory
  • In this model of classical conditioning, the compensatory after-effects to a US are what come to be elicited by the CS
  • Based on the opponent-process theory of emotion / motivation

Opponent-Process Theory of

Emotion (Solomon & Corbit, 1974)

  • Emotional events elicit two competing processes: - The primary- or A-process that is immediately elicited by the event - e.g., taking an exam elicits an unpleasant A- state - An opponent- or B-process that is the opposite of the A-process and counteracts it - e.g., the pain during the exam (A-state) creates a pleasant relief response (B-state) following the exam

Stimulusa-s tate b-s tate

  • First few stimulations
  • After several stimulations

Opponent-Process Theory of

Emotion

  • The actual emotional state of the organism is determined by the difference in magnitude between the 2 states: - The A-state minus the B-state = end emotional result - If A-state > B-state, then the emotion experienced will be A-like - If B-state > A-state, then the emotional result will be B-like

Evidence for a Compensatory-

Response Model

  • Siegel (1972) gave rats repeated injections of Insulin - Insulin’s effects are to reduce the level of glucose in the blood
  • Tested by giving the rats an injection of saline (instead of insulin) - Measured the CR (change in blood glucose levels)

Siegel (1972) Results

• There was a strong CR that occurred,

but it was an INCREASE in blood

glucose levels

  • (The opposite of Insulin’s direct effect)

• CR ≠ UR, and the CR was definitely

compensatory

Saline Paired Unpaired

Mean Latency to Lick Paw

  • Test: present CS, inject every rat with morphine, & place each rat on a moderately hot surface - Measure latency to lick their paws - The faster they lick, the quicker they feel the pain
