    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.
