Flashcards
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
A reflex response that occurs naturally, without any prior learning. For example, a dog naturally salivates when it sees food. It does not need to learn this behavior.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
A neutral stimulus that, after repeated pairings with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS), becomes associated with it and elicits a learned response. For example, the sound of a can opener becomes associated with food and makes the dog salivate.
Conditioned Response (CR)
Conditioned Response (CR)
A learned response to the conditioned stimulus (CS) that is triggered because of the association between the CS and the unconditioned stimulus (UCS). For example, the dog will salivate at the sound of the can opener because it has learned to associate the sound with food.

Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): An automatic, reflexive response. Example: salivation to food.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A stimulus that naturally triggers a response. Example: food.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after association with the UCS, triggers a response. Example: sound of a can opener.
- Conditioned Response (CR): A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. Example: running to the kitchen when hearing the can opener.
Operant Conditioning
- Reinforcement: Consequences that increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
- Punishment: Consequences that decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
- Positive Reinforcement: Adding a desirable stimulus to increase a behavior. (e.g., praise for good work)
- Negative Reinforcement: Removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior. (e.g., taking aspirin to relieve a headache)
- Positive Punishment: Adding an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior. (e.g., spanking)
- Negative Punishment: Removing a desirable stimulus to decrease a behavior. (e.g., taking away a toy)
- Generalization: Responding to stimuli similar to the CS.
- Discrimination: Responding only to the specific CS and not to similar stimuli.
- Thorndike's Law of Effect: Behaviors followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to be repeated.
