žA taste-aversion is a conditioned response that results from a person or animal establishing an association between a particular food and being or feeling ill after having consumed it at some time in the past.
žThe association is usually the result of a single experience & the particular food will be avoided in the future.
žSimilar to CC as there is an association between a CS( smell/taste of food) and the UCS (nausea producing substance).
žThis tends to happen with one trial.
žOne-trial learning is a form of learning involving a change in behaviour that occurs with only one experience.
žWhether one-trial learning is a particular type of CC is still a topic of some debate.
CC vs. One-trial learning
žCC responses usually take a number of associations or pairings to occur & can extinguish relatively quickly.
žIn CC, the CR occurs immediately after the CS is presented.
žOne trial learning is quickly acquired & considerably resistant to extinction (because UCR, feeling sick, is very powerful.
žIn one-trial learning, the CR could occur as much as a day or so after the food (CS) was consumed.
*CC and one-trial learning both involve automatic, involuntary responses that are acquired in a passive manner, i.e., the person or animal does not make a deliberate decision to perform a behaviour for an intended outcome.
