According to Siegel, what is drug tolerance? What evidence is available to support Siegel’s model?
What will be an ideal response?
Tolerance represents the conditioning of a response that is opposite to the unconditioned drug effects. Thus, the environmental cues present during drug administration antagonize the drugs action and result in a lower pharmacological reaction to the drug. Siegel found that exposure to the conditioned stimulus (environment) without the UCS (drug) (once the association had been conditioned) resulted in the extinction of the opponent conditioned response; elimination of the conditioned stimulus results in a stronger reaction to the drug itself. Siegel also found that changing the stimulus context in which the drug is administered can lead to an increased response to the drug.
