Chapter 4 Learning
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING:
For each of the following, identify the UCS, UCR, CS, and CR. Keep in mind that the UCS is the unlearned or unconditioned stimulus that elicits the unlearned or unconditioned response without any learning having happened (thus the unlearned part). The CS starts off neutral as it doesnt elicit a response until repeated pairings have created the association between the two stimuli (UCS and neutral stimulus), the CR is the learned response and is typically similar/or the same as the UCR, it is just that it is elicited by the CS. See the example for how to complete it.
EXAMPLE:
1. Candy and Bob have been dating for several months. Candy finds that every time Bob gives her a passionate kiss, she feels a wave of sexual arousal in response to this kiss. Bob loves eating onions, he eats them just like apples, and thus he ends up having horrid onion breath. Candy has gotten quite used to this, in fact when she gets just a whiff of his onion breath, she has found herself feeling a wave of sexual arousal, even though she really doesnt care for onions personally.
Step 1.
Unconditioned Stimulus
(UCS)

Sexual arousal
Step 2.
UCS
paired with
Bobs onion breath paired with the Passionate kiss
Conditioned
Stimulus
(CS)

(CR)
Sexual arousal
2. Fred has a fluffy down pillow with some of the down sticking out of the fabric. When he first tries out the pillow, a piece of down tickles his nose and he sneezes. This happens every time he goes to bed. Soon he sneezes every time he lays down on any kind of pillow.
Step 1.
Unconditioned Stimulus
(UCS)
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
Step 2.
UCS
paired with
Conditioned
Stimulus
(CS)

3. Scotts dog waits every afternoon in the front room for Scott to come home. He knows that when he hears the garage door open, Scott will come in and take him out for a walk.
