conditioned stimulus
The conditioned response can become extinct through a process called extinction, where the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus. Over time, with consistent exposure to the conditioned stimulus without the expected outcome, the conditioned response weakens and eventually disappears.
conditioned response. The conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, goes on to trigger a response.
A conditioned response can be extinguished through repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus. Over time, the association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus weakens, leading to a decrease or disappearance of the conditioned response.
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.
The conditioned response is the learned response that is triggered by the conditioned stimulus. It is typically similar to the unconditioned response that is naturally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.
A conditioned stimulus is an initially neutral stimulus that becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
The process that allows a second stimulus to cause the same response as the originally conditioned stimulus is called stimulus generalization. This occurs when similar stimuli to the conditioned stimulus also trigger the conditioned response.
Generalization is the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus.
Classical conditioning involves the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to create a conditioned response. The key elements include an unconditioned stimulus that naturally triggers a response, a neutral stimulus that initially does not elicit a response, and the pairing of the two stimuli to produce a conditioned response. Over time, the neutral stimulus alone can evoke the conditioned response.
An unconditioned stimulus naturally triggers a response without any prior learning, while a conditioned stimulus is initially neutral but becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus through learning. In classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response, while the conditioned stimulus eventually elicits a conditioned response after being paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
You can extinguish classically conditioned behavior by repeatedly presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus until the conditioned response weakens and eventually disappears. This process is known as extinction. It is important to consistently withhold the unconditioned stimulus so that the association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus is broken.
