Study Notes

Classical Conditioning Terms

Neutral Stimulus (NS): A stimulus that does not naturally trigger any reflexive response or reaction; serves as a baseline for measuring responses in classical conditioning.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Initially neutral, this stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (US) through repeated pairings, leading to the elicitation of a conditioned response.
Unconditioned Stimulus (US): A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior conditioning; examples include food or loud noises that provoke instinctual reactions.
Unconditioned Response (UR): The automatic, natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus; examples include salivation when food is presented or flinching at a loud sound.
Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to a previously neutral stimulus (now a conditioned stimulus) that occurs after conditioning, reflecting a change in behavior due to the learning process.
