The stimulus is your bodies reaction to something, say you burnt your hand, this is the stimulus. The reaction is your bodies response to it. In this sense the stimulus will be sensed by sensory neurones which pass an electrical impulse through relay neurons until the impulse gets to the Central Nervous System. This then, gives out another impulse which travels down a Motor Neuron to the muscle telling your hand to be removed from the surface.....

What is a plant's reponse to a stimulus?

You need to know the plant and the stimulus.


The classical conditioning continguency only refers to the timing of the cs and the ucs?

Classical conditioning contingency refers to the degree of association between the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (UCS). It includes the relationship between the timing, predictability, and frequency of the CS and UCS presentations. This relationship influences the strength and effectiveness of the conditioned response.


What is the different between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus?

The difference between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus is that an external stimulus is a stimulus that comes from outside an organism. But an internal stumulus is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism. An example for an external stimulus can be that when you are cold, you put on a jacket. An example for an internal stimulus is that when you feel hungry, you eat food.


Who proposed the contingency theory for classical conditioning?

Robert Rescorla and Allan Wagner proposed the contingency theory for classical conditioning. This theory suggests that learning occurs when there is a predictive relationship between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus.


What is the relationship between amplitude of muscle response and voltage of stimulus applied?

The relationship between the amplitude of muscle response and the voltage of the stimulus is generally linear. As the voltage of the stimulus increases, the muscle response increases in amplitude up to a certain point. Beyond that point, further increases in voltage may not significantly increase the muscle response amplitude or could lead to muscle fatigue or damage.


What is the difference between stimulus and stimuli?

the difference is that, stimuli is the plural of stimulus; that is stimuli is feelings while stimulus is feeling.


How would the relationship between the stimulus voltage and the amplitude of the response differ on a single nerve fiber?

The relationship between stimulus voltage and response amplitude on a single nerve fiber follows the all-or-nothing principle. Below a certain threshold voltage, there will be no response. Once the threshold is reached, there will be a maximal response amplitude without variation with higher stimulus voltage.


What is the relationship between a stimulus and a response?

A response is always triggered by a stimulus. One example is in a neuron (nerve cell). Once a sensory stimulus is witnessed (a stimulus from one of the 5 senses), the cell hits an action potential, and the response is carried out. Simply put: A human eye is closed. Once the eye opens thousands of sensors in the eye pick up the photons bouncing off all objects (stimulus), and the human is able to see (response).


What is the relationship between sensory adaptation and negative adaptation?

Sensory adaptation refers to the decreased response of sensory receptors to a constant stimulus, leading to reduced perception of that stimulus over time. Negative adaptation, on the other hand, involves a decrease in the overall response of a system to a stimulus due to prolonged exposure. While sensory adaptation is specific to sensory receptors, negative adaptation is a more general phenomenon that can occur across various systems in response to prolonged stimulation.


How are the strongest associations between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus formed?

The strongest associations between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are formed through repeated pairings of the two stimuli. When the conditioned stimulus reliably predicts the unconditioned stimulus, learning occurs through classical conditioning. The more consistent and closely timed the pairings, the stronger the association becomes.


Difference between stimulus and response?

A stimulus is a change in an organism's surroundings or body which causes it to respond. Hence, a response is an organism's reaction to a specific stimulus.


Simple association between stimulus and response is called an?

A simple association between a stimulus and a response is called classical conditioning. This process involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically potent one, which results in the neutral stimulus producing the same response.
