Discussion Forum 2
Pavlovs studies showed how a neutral stimulus could be conditioned to elicit a conditioned response by pairing it with an unconditioned stimulus that already elicited an unconditioned response. This process is called classical (or respondent or Pavlovian) conditioning.
For example, the sight of a dog (an originally neutral stimulus) may elicit a fear response (a conditioned response) in a person because of a past pairing of seeing a dog with that dogs bite (an unconditioned stimulus) that elicited pain and fear (unconditioned responses). Now, seeing a dog is a conditioned stimulus that produces a conditioned response of fear.
Please provide your own real-life example of classical conditioning. For a complete answer, you should do the following:
- Specify the unconditioned stimulus (US), the unconditioned response (UR), the originally neutral stimulus (NS) that becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS), and the conditioned response (CR).
- Describe how the conditioning process occurred.
Hint: Be sure to review pages 30-32 in Cooper et al. (2020). Table 2.2 on page 30 provides many examples of unconditioned stimuli (USs) and unconditioned responses (URs) in humans. You can pick any type of neutral stimulus (e.g., a location, a piece of clothing, a picture, a word, a person, a toy, a color, etc.) to be paired with one of these USs and then describe how the neutral stimulus (NS) can become a conditioned stimulus (CS) through Pavlovian Conditioning.
