Questions and Answers

What is habituation?

  • A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without any prior learning
  • A decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentations (correct)
  • A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired
  • An increase in responsiveness to a stimulus following its repeated presentation

    • What is sensitization?

  • A previously neutral stimulus that triggers a conditioned response
  • A decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentations
  • An increase in responsiveness to a stimulus following its repeated presentation (correct)
  • A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired

    • What is a UCS (Unconditioned Stimulus)?

  • A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior learning (correct)
  • An unlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus
  • A stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention
  • A previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response

    Study Notes

    Habituation

    • A psychological process where an organism shows a decreased response to a repeated stimulus over time.
    • Enables individuals to ignore non-threatening stimuli after repeated exposure, focusing on more meaningful changes in the environment.

    Sensitization

    • An increased response to a stimulus following a strong or noxious event.
    • Results in heightened reactions to various stimuli after experiencing a particularly intense one, enhancing awareness of potential threats.

    Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)

    • A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without prior conditioning.
    • Example: Food presented to a dog naturally elicits salivation.

    Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

    • A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to elicit a conditioned response.
    • Example: A bell sound, when repeatedly associated with food, can cause salivation when heard alone.

    Conditioned Response (CR)

    • A learned response to a conditioned stimulus due to the association between the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus.
    • Example: Salivation in response to the bell after conditioning.

    Unconditioned Response (UCR)

    • The natural and automatic reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.
    • Example: Salivating when food is presented, without prior learning.

    Neutral Stimulus (NS)

    • A stimulus that initially does not elicit a response until paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
    • Example: A bell before any association with food; does not provoke salivation initially.

    Classical Conditioning

    • A learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus.
    • Involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
