A stimulus evokes a response.
Any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens that response is called a reinforcer. Reinforcers can be positive, such as rewards or praise, which increase the likelihood of the behavior being repeated, or negative, where the removal of an unpleasant stimulus also strengthens the behavior.
A rapid predictable involuntary response to a stimulus is known as a reflex. Reflexes occur automatically and do not require conscious thought, allowing for quick reactions to potentially harmful stimuli. Examples include the knee-jerk response and the withdrawal reflex when touching something hot. These responses are mediated by neural pathways called reflex arcs, which enable swift action to protect the body.
A predictable automatic response to a stimulus is called a reflex. Reflexes are involuntary and occur rapidly without conscious thought, often to protect the body from harm. An example is the knee-jerk reflex, where tapping the knee causes an automatic leg extension. These responses are essential for survival and are mediated by the nervous system.
A rapid involuntary response to a stimulus is known as a reflex. Reflexes are automatic reactions that occur without conscious thought, typically involving a simple neural pathway called a reflex arc. For example, when touching a hot surface, the body immediately withdraws the hand to prevent injury, demonstrating this quick response mechanism. Reflexes are essential for survival as they help protect the body from harm.
A stimulus which naturally elicits a response is called an unconditioned stimulus. This type of stimulus triggers a reflexive or innate response without prior learning.
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.
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.
The process is called "acquisition" in classical conditioning. During acquisition, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a response similar to the unconditioned stimulus.
A neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through a process called classical conditioning. This happens when the neutral stimulus is paired consistently with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a response. Over time, the neutral stimulus begins to evoke the same response as the unconditioned stimulus, becoming a conditioned stimulus.
In classical conditioning, an unlearned inborn reaction to an unconditioned stimulus is called an unconditioned response. This natural response occurs automatically without any learning involved.
Tropism is the response plants have towards external stimulus.
Random movement in response to a stimulus is called kinesis. Kinesis is a non-directional response where the organism changes its rate of movement in response to a stimulus, but not the direction.
The change is actually a stimulus and when the organism reacts to the stimulus, it becomes a response. Overall, The answer is a stimulus.
Stimulus.
An organism's response to a stimulus is called a reaction or a behavior. This can include actions such as moving away from danger, seeking food, or displaying a mating behavior in response to a specific stimulus.
An organisms reaction to a stimulus is called RESPONSE.
