Study Notes
Key Concepts in Classical Conditioning
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A naturally occurring stimulus that produces a response without any prior learning.
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): An automatic, reflexive reaction to the unconditioned stimulus, requiring no prior conditioning to occur.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, begins to elicit a conditioned response.
- Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to a conditioned stimulus, developed through the process of association with the unconditioned stimulus.
- Neutral Stimulus (NS): A stimulus that initially does not elicit any response until it is paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
