What's the difference between an unconditioned stimulus and a conditioned stimulus?
Conditioned Stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus causes a response without any prior learning on the part of the subject. The response is automatic and occurs without thought. In contrast, a conditioned stimulus produces a reaction only after the subject has learned to associate it with a given outcome.
Is the tendency in conditioning for an organism to distinguish between the CS and a similar stimulus?
In classical conditioning, stimulus generalization is the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the response has been conditioned. Once a person or animal has been trained to respond to a stimulus, very similar stimuli may produce the same response as well.
What is the tendency for a conditioned response to be evoked by stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus?
Generalization refers to the tendency to respond to stimuli that resemble the original conditioned stimulus.
What is the difference between conditioned stimulus and conditioned response?
A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation. It is important to note that the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus.
