Denying the expected reward for response to a stimulus will eventually result in the "extinction" of the conditioned behavioral response.
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.
sure! But it can also be affected by the reinforcing stimulus provided by a tree or a rock too--
conditioned stimulus
An animal's immediate automatic response to an external stimulus will vary depending on the circumstance. When the external environment is stimulated there is a response that is triggered.
our senses will detect stimulus and send impulse into the integrating centre(brain) to interpret. the brain will produce appropriate response toward the stimulus to the effector. e.g when Telephone ring, the ears will detect the stimulus(sound) and the brain will produce the response to pick up the phone (copy from Yahoo answers)
Something that doesnt start the response by itself.
Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. In Pavlov's experiment the tone of a bell was the natural stimulus, and it caused salivating in response to food. Eventually the tone of the bell would produce salivating.
Stimulus-Response
Classical Conditioning?
This is a process of extinction through classical conditioning and operant learning
stimulus
When the condition stimulus is presented unpaired with the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned stimulus may cease to evoke the conditioned response. This process is called behavioral extinction.
classical conditioning
Classical
In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus will trigger the conditioned response. It is also referred to as respondent conditioning.
If I'm not mistaken, Unconditioned stimulus(UCS) is a term used in classical conditioning, to explain a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response, also termed the Unconditioned response(UCR) without/before any learning or conditioning.
Classical Conditioning is what Pavlov did in his very famous work with dogs. Pavlov trained his 'subjects' to salivate upon hearing a ringing bell. He took a physiological response (salivating) and "conditioned" it to the ringing of the bell. You can see how easy this would be. Every time he gave his [hungry] subject some food, he rang a bell. Eventually, just ringing the bell was enough to bring about the salivating response. This is distinct from Operant Conditioning, where you can shape behaviors (not physiological responses) by conditioning them to various rewards or punishments. This is basically the kind of process that any animal trainer will use.
