Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,just to check out the late-night record shop.Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane;but when I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning,It's a matter of fact.You can call me Pavlov's dogRing a bell and I'll salivate- how'd you like that?Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue,cause right now I'm

Neutral Stimulus (NS): something Neutral Stimulus (NS): something that would ordinarily not produce the that would ordinarily not produce the reflex response of interest reflex response of interest

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): something that produces a reflex something that produces a reflex response without learningresponse without learning

Unconditioned Response (UCR): the Unconditioned Response (UCR): the reflex response that is elicited by the reflex response that is elicited by the UCSUCS

Conditioned Stimulus (CS): a formerly Conditioned Stimulus (CS): a formerly neutral stimulus, that through neutral stimulus, that through learning, elicits a reflex responselearning, elicits a reflex response

Conditioned Response (CR): a reflex Conditioned Response (CR): a reflex response elicited by the CSresponse elicited by the CS

Generalization: when a neutral Generalization: when a neutral stimulus similar to the CS elicits a CR stimulus similar to the CS elicits a CR without being paired with the UCSwithout being paired with the UCS

I'm feeling so tired, can't understand it Just had a fortnights sleep

I'm feeling so tired, Ow!, so distracted Ain't touched a thing all week

I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppyAin't touched a drink all night

Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a studKicking the stall all night

Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on Don't have no bark or bite

Yeah when you call my nameI salivate like a Pavlov dog Yeah when you lay me out

My heart starts beating like a big bass drum

Discrimination: when a neutral stimulus Discrimination: when a neutral stimulus similar, but different enough, to the CS similar, but different enough, to the CS does NOT elicit a CRdoes NOT elicit a CR

Extinction: when a CS no longer elicits Extinction: when a CS no longer elicits a CR because …a CR because …

it was no longer paired with the UCSit was no longer paired with the UCSSpontaneous Recovery: after extinction Spontaneous Recovery: after extinction

has taken place, and without any has taken place, and without any pairings with the UCS, the CS elicits a pairings with the UCS, the CS elicits a CR CR

Oh, Mario,Sit here by the window;Stay here 'til we reach Idaho,And when we go, hold my hand on take-off.Tell me what I already know:That we can't talk about it.No, we can't talk about it.Because nobody knows,that's how I nearly fell,trading clothesand ringing Pavlov's Bell.History showsthere's not a chance in hell.But, oh, Mario, we're only to Ohio.It's kinda getting harder to breathe.I won't let it show,I'm all about denialBut can't denial let me believe

Pavlov's Bell

Aimee Mann

That we could talk about it? But we can't talk about itBecause nobody knows, that's how I nearly fell,trading clothes and ringing Pavlov's Bell.History shows but rarely shows it well.Well, well, wellOh, Mario, why if this is nothing,I'm finding it's so hard to dismiss.If you're what I need,then only you can save me,so come on baby give me the fixand let's just talk about it.I've got to talk about it.Because nobody knows.that's how I nearly fell,trading clothesand ringing Pavlov's Bell.History shows
