salivation to the food
unconditioned response
The bell ringing is called a conditioned stimulus, while the meat powder is an unconditioned stimulus. The process by which the dogs learned to salivate in response to the bell alone is known as classical conditioning.
John B. Watson, after observing children in the field, was interested in finding support for his notion that the reaction of children, whenever they heard loud noises, was prompted by fear. Furthermore, he reasoned that this fear was innate or due to an unconditioned response
Pavlov would ring a bell then feed his dogs. He did this for a long time. Then whenever he would ring the bell his dogs would begin to salivate (drool) in anticipation of their food. Basically, he trained his dogs so that they associated the sound of the bell with receiving their food, and therefore whenever they heard a bell they anticipated food and began to drool. It's "conditioned" response, not "unconditional." Conditioned means that they would just give that response naturally, not like "trained" behavior in which the dog would know that "sit" meant he should sit down, and then do it voluntarily. The dog was not thinking, "OK, there's a bell, so that means I should drool now." The drooling (salivating) would happen all by itself. I mean, a human can sit on purpose, right? but you can't drool on purpose, except by thinking about food.
Extinction is the behavioral state reached when the stimulus no longer elicits a response due to repeated presentation without reinforcement. It involves the weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response learned during the conditioning process.
An unconditioned response is automatic and unlearned, triggered by a specific stimulus. A conditioned response, on the other hand, is learned through association with a neutral stimulus that was previously paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned Stimulus is an event or thing that automatically triggers a response. an example would be. when you smell your favorite food cooking, your mouth may salivate. the smell is an unconditioned stimulus which, in turn, brings rise to the salivating (unconditioned or 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.
unconditioned response
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
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.
In a typical classical conditioning experiment, a neutral stimulus is a stimulus that initially does not elicit a specific response. It becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus through repeated pairing, eventually eliciting a conditioned response on its own.
The unconditioned response.
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.
The term that defines the dogs' salivation in response to only the ringing of the bell is "conditioned response." This means that the dogs have learned to associate the bell with food, leading to salivation even when food is not present.
The main aim of Pavlov's dog experiment was to study classical conditioning, a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflexive response through repeated pairings. Pavlov demonstrated this by pairing a bell (neutral stimulus) with food (unconditioned stimulus), leading to the dog salivating (unconditioned response). Over time, the bell alone caused the dog to salivate, showing a learned response.
The response to food is considered unconditioned because it is a natural, instinctual reaction that does not need to be learned or paired with any specific cues or stimuli. This response is innate in living organisms and is simply triggered by the presence of food.
