A learned response elicited by a conditioned stimulus?

classical conditioning


What are the elements of classical conditioning of psychology?

1. Neutral Stimulus(NS)-A stimulus that does not evoke a response 2.Unconditioned Stimulus(US)-A stimulus innately capable of eliciting a response 3.Conditioned Stimulus(CS)-A stimulus that evokes a response b/c it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus 4.Unconditioned Response(UR)-An innate reflex response elicited by a US 5.Conditioned Response(CR)-A learned response elicited by a CS


What is the difference between a behavioral adaptation and a learned adaptation?

A reflex is a response to a stimulus that the animal was born with, but a learned behavior is a response to a stimulus that the animal learns or is taught.


What is the difference between a unconditioned response and a conditioned response?

Unconditioned response is unlearned and conditioned is learned. When you smell your favorite food (unconditioned stimulus) you become hungrey(unconidtioned response)


Whose theory is based on the concept that all behavior is observable and learned in response to a stimulus from the environment?

B.F. Skinner


Difference between extinguished behavior and intermittent reinforcement of a behavior?

Extinction (in classical conditioning) is the reduction of a learned response that occurs because the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus. Also, the procedure of repeatedly presenting a conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus. Intermittent reinforcement of behavior is a schedule of reinforcement in which only some of the occurrences of the instrumental response are reinforced. The instrumental response is reinforced occasionally, or intermittently.


Is it true that a stimilus causes a change or response in an organism?

Biological Studies have shown that organisms are very responsive to their environments. External Stimuli affect reflexes, as well as create learned behaviors and reinforce innate ones. External Stimuli can also affect heredity, as well as natural selection as far as evolution as a whole.


What is a learned response?

A learned response is a way a persons reacts to a situation


What is extincting behavior?

You are looking for the term Extinction. the conditioning phenomenon in which a previously learned response to a cue is reduced when the cue is presented in the absence of the previously paired aversive or appetitive stimulus. Google coulda told you that.


What is the response to the conditioned stimulus that occurs after the pairing of a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus?

You will get a conditioned response. Since i know that this topic can be complicated i'll try and make it a little easier to understand. An unconditioned stimulus is one that occurs naturally without any kind of training. As an example, look at the innate fears that we have due to evolution. Certain animals, bitter tastes elicit a response (such as running away or spitting out the bitter food). This is the unconditioned response. Another example is the eye blink response. When a puff of air hits your eye, you automatically blink. Now say for example when the puff of air hits your eye, a bell rings (a conditioned stimulus) and you blink. After this connection between the puff of air, the bell and eye blink has been learned, the bell ringing itself will cause you to blink in absence of the air puff. This is the conditioned response as naturally, hearing a bell ring, does not make you blink.


What are some learned behaviors of fish?

Well. If you put two male bettas together they will eat and or kill each other. That doesnt help me at all.


How did the response time for the learned activity?

The learned activity's response time changed while the simple patellar reflex stayed the same.
