What is unconditioned stimulus?

An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that naturally triggers a response without any prior learning. It's something that prompts an automatic, innate reaction. For example, the smell of food causing salivation.


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 are the elements of classical conditioning of psychology?

1. Neutral Stimulus(NS)-A stimulus that does not evoke a response 2.Unconditioned Stimulus(US)-A stimulus innately capable of eliciting a response 3.Conditioned Stimulus(CS)-A stimulus that evokes a response b/c it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus 4.Unconditioned Response(UR)-An innate reflex response elicited by a US 5.Conditioned Response(CR)-A learned response elicited by a CS


What is the difference between unconditioned stimulus and conditioned stimulus?

An unconditioned stimulus UCS is stimuli or anything that brings out a reaction that is innate, not learned, automatic, etc.A conditioned stimulus CS is a once neutral or unrelated stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus, which after training and learning signals the conditioned response.Take a dog for example. A dog will salivate at the sight of food, salivation is the unconditioned stimulus, dogs don't learn how to drool they just do. Then pair the sight of food with the ringing of a bell, once unrelated, and the dog will learn to associate the bell with food and will therefore salivate. And the bell becomes the conditioned stimulus.For more information/source go to Exploring Psychology by David Myers


What are the two basic types of behavior?

There are two types of basic human behavior. Innate behavior, which is automatic and exhibited by all individuals. Learned behavior, which is modified by experience and will vary. Both of these behaviors are triggered by stimulus.

What is a change in behavior caused by a stimulus?

A change in behavior caused by a stimulus is known as a reflex. It is an automatic response to a specific stimulus that helps organisms quickly react to potential dangers or opportunities in their environment. Reflexes are typically innate and do not require conscious thought.

In order for a behavioral change to be attibutable to learning?

It must be proceeded by a novel stimulus. Thus, Stimulus=Response or simply S/R Theory proposed by B.F. Skinner, a behavioral scientist. Innate responses originate on their own without requiring an external stimulus.
