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

Classical Conditioning?


What is a example of classical conditioning?

After a night of drinking, you may be sick. You then associate tequila with being sick and therefore, when you smell/taste/see tequila, you feel sick. UCS : Drinking UCR : Being sick CS : Seeing tequila CR : Feeling/being sick


What are the differences between classical and operant conditioning theories?

In classical conditioning a stimulus that already leads to a response is replaced by a different stimulus. In operant conditioning a behaviour is picked out and either reinforced or punished to make it more or less common. So you could say one acts to modify or replace the stimulus that leads to a given response, and the other to modify or refine a response with SKELETONS. In terms of Pavlov's dog (classical) this meant replacing the smell of food, as the stimulus that leads to salivation, with the sound of a bell instead so that eventually even with the sound of the bell alone the dog has 'learned' to salivate. In terms of Skinner's cat (operant) the stimulus was confinement and the natural behaviour was to explore the environment for an escape. Teaching the cat to press the lever to get out can be seen as refining this behaviour with a reward. Here, of course, the cat was not shown how to press the lever. It discovered it randomly on it's own. But thereafter it did not waste much time before pressing the lever on the SKELETON.


Why do boys lick there lips?

Boys, like anyone else, may lick their lips for various reasons. It could be due to dryness or chapped lips, a natural habit, or as a response to a sensory stimulus. Some people also lick their lips when they feel nervous or anxious. Ultimately, the reason can vary from person to person.


Which process of behavior modification involves a person learning to associate a desired behavior with a previously unrelated stimulus?

The theory is called Conditioning. In behavioural psychologythe theory states that the reaction to an event by a person can be modified by conditioning a new response. So, the way they tested this theory was by ringing a bell every time this dog was about to get food. They got the dog conditioned so all it would need to hear was the bell and it would start drooling and carrying on as if it had actually seen or smelled the food. The bell was an artificially injected stimulus in that bells don't normally ring for dog feeding time so there would be no natural connection for the dogs to have made instinctually to the sound of the bell and the food. By making and reinforcing this connection over and over they made it so the dogs stimulus created an unnatural reaction by the drooling at the sound of the bell. The key here is that it is an unconditioned stimuli that creates the conditionoinged response.

What is the difference between uncontrolled response and controlled response?

An uncontrolled response is a natural response to an unconditioned stimulus or stimuli. A controlled response is a response taught to said person by pairing it with a formally neutral stimulus which now turns into the controlled stimulus.

The process of changing physical stimulus to neural stimulus is called what?

Transduction is the process of changing physical stimulus to natural stimulus. This causes receptor cells to produce an electrical change in response.


Is natural selection if a pigeon learns when its keeper comes near it it will be fed?

No, you are probably thinking of classical/pavlovian/respondent conditioning. This is when a conditioned stimulus, in this situation it would be the keeper, comes to signal the occurrence of a second unconditioned stimulus, in this case being fed.


Is it true that a stimilus causes a change or response in an organism?

Biological Studies have shown that organisms are very responsive to their environments. External Stimuli affect reflexes, as well as create learned behaviors and reinforce innate ones. External Stimuli can also affect heredity, as well as natural selection as far as evolution as a whole.


Pavlov's experiment was a typical case of classical conditioning because?

Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. In Pavlov's experiment the tone of a bell was the natural stimulus, and it caused salivating in response to food. Eventually the tone of the bell would produce salivating.


What is difference between natural response and transient response?

They are the same thing. The transient response is also known as the natural response.


What are stimulus variables?

Stimulus variables are variables that are part of the habitat that an organism reacts to. These variables can be natural parts of the area such as weather.


What does elicited mean in classical conditioning?

Elicited in classical conditioning refers to the automatic or reflexive response that is triggered by a specific stimulus. It is a natural reaction that occurs without any conscious effort or awareness from the individual.
