sure! But it can also be affected by the reinforcing stimulus provided by a tree or a rock too--

In a conditioning experiment what behavioral state is reached when the stimulus no longer evokes a response?

Denying the expected reward for response to a stimulus will eventually result in the "extinction" of the conditioned behavioral response.


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.


An animal is an immediate automatic response to an external 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.


How are stimulus and response related?

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)


How are a stimulus and a response related?

They are directly related. Homeostasis is an environments ability to maintain stbility in a regular cycle, but when something new is introduced, the environment is able to respond to a new occurance, or stimulus, and responds in order to survive and return to maintaining a normal cycle. Without response to a new stimulus, environments would be unable to maintain homeostasis and would die out!

In operant conditioning the stimulus is the behavior of the animal and the response which influences whether or not the behavior is likely reoccur can be under human control-true or false?

False. The stimuli is the thing, sound, or activity that influences the response. The response is the conditioned response, assuming it occurs every time the stimli is present.


Compare and contrast operant and classical conditioning?

Classical conditioning is best known by Pavlov's dogs. This type of conditioning takes a neutral stimulus and makes a person or animal respond to it. Operant conditioning uses punishment to get a behavior to stop.


Difference between extinguished behavior and intermittent reinforcement of a behavior?

Extinction is the process of gradually reducing a behavior by no longer reinforcing it, leading to the behavior eventually ceasing. Intermittent reinforcement involves reinforcing a behavior only sometimes, which can be more resistant to extinction compared to behaviors that are consistently reinforced.


Conditioning that has a natural and automatic stimulus response situation is known as what?

Classical conditioning.


Conditioning related to a stimulus and response and dog experiments?

A learned response elicited by a conditioned stimulus?

A learned response elicited by a conditioned stimulus is known as a conditioned response. It is acquired through classical conditioning, where an initially neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a specific response. Over time, the conditioned stimulus alone can trigger the conditioned response.


In classical condotioning the conditioned stimulus will trigger the?

conditioned response. The conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, goes on to trigger a response.


What stimulus elicits a response because of an innate or reflexive connection is called?

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.

What is the process of pairing a neutral stimulus wth an unconditioned stimulus in a way that each produce the same response?

This process is called classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus alone can produce the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. This creates a conditioned response, where the neutral stimulus now elicits the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.


What is the conditioning stimulus?

We refer to a conditioning stimulus and conditioned response. The conditioning stimulus is feedback that creates, enhances or intensifies a reaction, which is the conditioned response. In a famous series of experiments by Dr. Ivan Pavlov in the late 19th Century, dogs drooled when he gave them food and rang a bell rung at the same time. After awhile the dogs drooled at just the sound of the bell. The sound of the bell was the conditioning stimulus, and the physiological reaction of salivation in the dogs was the conditioned response.
