Understanding Classical Conditioning Terms

What is a Neutral Stimulus (NS) in classical conditioning?

• A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning.

• A stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• A stimulus that triggers a conditioned response after association.

Which of the following best describes an Unconditioned Response (UCR)?

• A learned response to a conditioned stimulus.

• A response that occurs naturally and automatically to a stimulus.

• A stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.

• A stimulus that triggers a conditioned response after association.

In classical conditioning, what is an Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)?

• A stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.

• A stimulus that becomes associated with a conditioned response.

What is a Conditioned Response (CR) in classical conditioning?

• A response that occurs naturally and automatically to a stimulus.

• A stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning.

Which of the following describes a Conditioned Stimulus (CS)?

• A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.

• A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

• An originally neutral stimulus that triggers a conditioned response after association.

• A response that occurs naturally and automatically to a stimulus.
