Classical conditioning is a form of associative learning, learning produced by the pairing of stimuli and responses. Below, explain the situation being described in terms of classical conditioning. For each description, identify the neutral stimulus (NS), unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response (UCR), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR). Remember, the NS always becomes the CS to indicate the learning has taken place,
Example 1:
While caring for a friend’s dog, you notice that it displays a fear-like posture as you roll up a newspaper. You try this several times and become convinced that this dog is generally afraid of rolled up newspapers.
NS - CS -
UCS - CR -
UCR -
Example 2:
Joan, an animal trainer, has been phobic about monkeys since an earlier attack. However, because of the money, she has agreed to work with monkeys for a movie studio. At first, going anywhere near cages makes Joan tense, sweaty, and apprehensive. Lately, though, things have changed. Working with such cuddly, affectionate, human-like creatures is causing Joan to wonder why she ever felt such extreme distress.
NS - CS -
UCS - CR -
UCR -
Example 3:
You have a meal at a fast food restaurant that causes food poisoning. The next time you see a sign for that restaurant, you feel nauseous.
NS - CS -
UCS - CR -
UCR -
Example 4:
The nurse says “Now this won’t hurt a bit” just before stabbing you with a needle. The next time you hear “This won’t hurt” you cringe in fear.
NS - CS -
UCS - CR -

Neutral Stimulus-The stimulus which only attracts attention during a process but does not produce any specific response called neutral stimulus or NS.
Unconditional Stimulus-The The stimulus which triggers any response unconditionally is called unconditional stimulus or UCS.
When a stimulus is a type of neutral stimulus but later associate with the UCS, the conditional-response occurs during the process of conditioning, while unconditioned responses are associations that show a strong connection with the stimulus.

Learning Activity 4.1: Classical Conditioning Read the following situations and identify the following: UCS: unconditioned stimulus .UCR: unconditioned response NS: neutral stimulus CS: conditioned stimulus CR: conditioned response 1. Your dog comes running when he hears the electric can opener. UCS: unconditioned stimulus: UCR: unconditioned response NS: neutral stimulus: CS: conditioned stimulus: CR: conditioned response 2. While listening to your car radio, you accidentally rear-end a blue car in front of you. Now, every time you see a blue car,...
In the winter, your car often gives you a mild shock whenever you touch the metal frame of the car. Now every time you even approach your car, you hesitate and cringe. For each of the following examples of classical conditioning, identify the Neutral Stimulus (NS), the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), Unconditioned Response (UCR), Conditioned Stimulus (CS) and Conditioned Response (CR). (5 points each)
Learning is a change in behavior that is adaptive True False In classical conditioning, the element that elicits a biological response is called the: A. Conditioned Stimulus B. Unconditioned Response C. Unconditioned Stimulus D. Neutral Stimulus The conditioned stimulus: A. normally elicits a biological response B. does not normally elicit the unconditioned response C. is a response to the neutral stimulus D. is a response to the unconditioned stimulus In classical conditioning, the most important learning happens between the: A....
1) Provide an example of Classical Conditioning in the form of a brief narrative or story (no more than 2-3 sentences). Then, identify the unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UR), neutral stimulus (NS), conditioned stimulus (CS) and conditioned response (CR).
Can Bullying Be Mitigated Through Behaviorist Approaches? A classic example of bullying is a scenario in which a much larger, stronger bully physically intimidates and harasses a smaller, weaker victim to steal the victim’s lunch money. You might think that the obvious solution to the bullying in this example is to punish the bully to prevent the behavior from reoccurring. It would be nice if the solution were that simple, but it often is not. The bully may receive gains...

Chapter 8: The Adaptive Mind Reflect on your experiences. Using your own real-world examples provide a unique example of classical conditioning and operant conditioning. For classical conditioning, make sure to identify the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), Unconditioned Responses (UCR), Conditioned Response (CR), Conditioned Stimulus (CS). For operant conditioning, make sure to provide an example for negative reinforcement positive reinforcement, punishment, positive punishment and negative punishment.
Often people on chemotherapy develop classical conditioned responses to certain foods. In classical conditioning this can accidentally happen when food is presented right after the chemo when many people feel nauseous. In this case Identify a) the UCS b) the UCR c) the CS d) CR (12 points)
give an example of classical conditioning. (a different example from Pavlov's dog slavation) what is the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, the unconditioned stimulus, and the conditioned response. 1.

1. classical conditioning is able associate learning. In classical conditioning learning is achieved by pairing the unconditional stimulus with a neutral stimulus. True or false 2. operant conditioning is an example of social learning. And operant conditioning the response is associated with either a reinforcer or a punisher. True or false
