Question

classical conditioning indentify the ucs,ucr, cs, cr in the statement example:
In washing my car this morning. Which the car shampoo i notice that the paint was coming off my car. I rinse the soap off the car but it was destory.

Answer 1

None of this is classical conditioning.

<B>Classical conditioning</B> is characterized by several factors.

I. The key relationship is associating <B>antecedent</B> events.

II. It originates with <B>reflexive</B> behavior. The behavior is "built in."

III. Classical conditioning is essentially a process of <B>stimulus substitution</B>. The response essentially remains the same.

IV. The response is <B>elicited</B>, since the behavior is reflexive.

<B>Operant (Instrumental) Conditioning</B> was started by Skinner and his box. In contrast to classical conditioning, operant conditioning has some specific qualities.

I. <B>Consequences</B> to responses are the key relationship.

II. Emitted responses are <B>voluntary</B> rather than reflexive.

III. <B>Response substitution</B> occurs -- unreinforced responses go to extinction, while reinforced responses become stronger. Essentially operant conditioning is <B>response contingent reinforcement</B>.

**************************************************************

In classical conditioning, the <B>unconditoned stimulus (US)</B> is one which reflexively causes a response. One example is putting something into your mouth causes salivation. In this case the <B>unconditioned response (UR)</B> is the response to a US presented alone, the salivation.

A <B>conditioned stimulus (CS)</B> originally has little or no effect. Only when the CS is repeatedly paired with a US (or previously learned CS) will it become a CS. A good example is the sound of a cellophane wrapper being opened. Originally it has little or no effect. However, after being repeatedly paired with eating candy or other foods, it alone will produce the conditioned response. The <B>conditioned response (CR)</B> is one given to the CS when presented alone.
