Study Notes
Respondent Conditioning
- Respondent conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a learned response.
- It is also known as Pavlovian conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus.
- The unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response without prior conditioning.
Types of Stimuli
- An unconditioned stimulus (US) is defined as a stimulus that elicits a response naturally and automatically.
- A neutral stimulus (NS) does not elicit any response prior to conditioning.
- A conditioned stimulus (CS) is a previously neutral stimulus that, after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus, begins to trigger a conditioned response.
Respondent Behavior
- Respondent behavior includes reactions that are involuntary and triggered by specific stimuli, like blushing or increases in heart rate.
- Examples of respondent behavior include:
- Blushing
- Increased heart rate
- Digesting food
Reflexive Responses
- An unconditioned response (UR) is an automatic response to an unconditioned stimulus.
- Reflex actions, such as jerking your hand away from a hot surface, are considered unconditioned responses.
- Reflexes involve a response and its controlling stimulus.
Characteristics of Respondent Behavior
- Respondent behavior can operate under the control of antecedent stimuli.
- It can sometimes be influenced by operant conditioning but is not easily shaped in the same way.
- Functions of respondent behavior are largely innate and instinctual.
Examples & Scenarios
- A scenario illustrating respondent conditioning might involve an individual developing a fear response (increased heart rate, sweating) after a previous negative experience, such as being chased by a dog.
- Responses like crying due to frustration can have both operant and respondent characteristics, as they include learned and instinctive elements.
Unconditioned Stimuli
- Examples of unconditioned stimuli include:
- Hot coffee on the tongue
- The aroma of food
- Bright lights in the eye
- These stimuli elicit unconditioned responses naturally and without prior learning.
Summary of Reflex
- A reflex is characterized as a response connected to a specific controlling stimulus, showcasing the relationship between a stimulus and the behavior it produces.
Neutral to Conditioned
- Transitioning a neutral stimulus into a conditioned stimulus requires pairing it with either an unconditioned stimulus or another conditioned stimulus.
