Starting with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) this type of stimulus produces a reaction without having to learn the reaction. Then there is the unconditioned response (UCR) this is the unlearned reaction that is produced by being introduced to the USC. Like when a person flinches at pain. A person doesn’t have to

    Classical conditioning is a form of learning that is taught to us through experiences we encounter in our lives. It involves outside stimuli to trigger the condition we have learned to expect. For example, the sound of a lunch bell would trigger our stomach to start growling soon after hearing the bell ring. The expectation of food to come soon after hearing the bell and satisfy our hunger is what makes our stomach growl. This is something learned over time. Expectations can be both good and

    Something that we have all been exposed to in our lifetimes is classical conditioning, or an association between different stimuli that elicits a new learned behavior. Classical conditioning consists of an unconditioned stimulus (US), conditioned stimulus (CS), conditioned response (CR), and an unconditioned response (UR). The unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response that is not based on any prior experiences. Salivating when you smell food is an example of an

    Learning Learning is more than a person sitting at a desk and studying off a book. Everything that we do is a result of what we have learned. We respond to things that happen to us, we act and experience consequences from our behavior, and we observe what others say and do. Psychologists explain our many experiences with basic learning processes. "Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience (Santrock, p.146)." By learning how to use a computer you

    Classical conditioning is one of the greatest ideas of our culture. "Any person, regardless of his or her background, could be trained to act in a particular manner given the right conditioning". Classical conditioning is continuously happening in our life. How we act has significant repercussions of accepting typical and chaotic actions with people.

    Classical conditioning is a form of learning in which a conditioned stimulus (CS) joins with an unattached unconditioned stimulus (US) so as to produce a behavioural response which is a conditioned response (CR). (http://www.boudless.com). There are three stages to classical conditioning. Stage one is “before the conditioning”. In this stage, the U.S evokes an U.R in an organism. This means that a stimulus produces a response that is unlearned. This stage also involves the neutral stimulus (N.S)

    conditioned and unconditioned responses? Provide at least three examples of each type of response. Conditioned is a learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of prior conditioning and unconditioned is an unlearned reaction/response to an unconditioned stimulus that occurs without prior conditioning.

    2. Classical conditioning is also sometimes referred to as respondent conditioning. Another way to look at this type of therapy is looking at what happens to an individual that then creates a response through their learning to pair emotions with triggers. Classical conditioning is an involuntary behavior or response that can be learned and unlearned. A popular example of this is Pavlov and his dogs. Pavlov used bells and food to trigger his dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell (Corey, 2013)
