Second Stage of the Classical Conditioning Development Discussion Paper

0 comments

I would appreciate it if you had it ready tonight Friday by 11pm PST or before?

Classical conditioning involves producing a response from a stimulus that previously did not produce that response. This kind of conditioning happens in everyday life, but we may not recognize it. Think about why your dog might be wagging his or her tail when you park your car in the garage, or why you may experience fear with the sight of a needle. These experiences are results of classical conditioning.

What is an example of classical conditioning in your life?

Every time I listen to certain songs and I smell certain fragrances, the thought and memory of my mom come to life. It feels so good to experience those memories from the past with my mom.The songs my mom liked and the fragrances she wore. It is as if though she is there next to me during those moments.

  • In your example, which elements are the unconditioned stimulus (U.S.), unconditioned response (U.R.), conditioned stimulus (C.S.), and conditioned response (C.R.)? Why?
  • How can you adapt your example to include higher order conditioning?
