What can happen if a conditioned stimulus is repeated over and over without being paired with an unconditioned stimulus?
If a conditioned stimulus is repeated without being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, the association between the two stimuli can weaken or disappear, a process called extinction. This can lead to the conditioned response fading away, as the conditioned stimulus is no longer seen as predictive of the unconditioned stimulus.
What is a stimulus which naturally elicits a response called?
A stimulus which naturally elicits a response is called an unconditioned stimulus. This type of stimulus triggers a reflexive or innate response without prior learning.
Neutral stimulus is the same as what?
Neutral stimulus is the same as a conditioned stimulus before it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning. It is a stimulus that does not elicit a response initially, but can become a conditioned stimulus through association with an unconditioned stimulus.
What is the main aim for the Pavlov's dog experiment?
The main aim of Pavlov's dog experiment was to study classical conditioning, a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflexive response through repeated pairings. Pavlov demonstrated this by pairing a bell (neutral stimulus) with food (unconditioned stimulus), leading to the dog salivating (unconditioned response). Over time, the bell alone caused the dog to salivate, showing a learned response.
What neobehavorist said stimuli which accompany a response tend on their recurrence to evoke that response?
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, is known for discovering classical conditioning, in which a neutral stimulus paired with an unconditioned stimulus leads to a conditioned response. This concept demonstrates how stimuli can come to evoke responses through repeated pairings.
