Question

the most important aspects of classical conditioning is that the conditioned stimulus becomes a _______ for the unconditional stimulus:
a signal
b stimulus generalization
c stimulus discrimination
d high-color conditioning support

Answer 1

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.

This should help you choose the right answer.
