To explain the neutral stimulus (NS) is a condition that without any being followed by a response. A stimulus that comes together with another stimulus to produce a reaction. For example, a (NS) can be a person, object, place, however, either or would bring a change to affect the behavior of another, with the activity of something else happening to make a response (McLeod, 2014). The nucleus stimulus alone will not produce a reaction. In other words, a bottle of perfume sitting on the cabinet, the perfume will be noted as a (NS), unless someone spray the scented bottle it will not produce any effects. Therefore, the unconditioned response is brought forth to help provide an unconditioned response. Although, throughout this process behavior

  • An Operant Conditioning In Antonio's Case

    554 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Antonio was seven years old, he had a very bad flu and was hospitalized. He was able to recover without complications, but he noticed that whenever he drove by the hospital he was treated at that he would start to feel sick to his stomach.Unconditioned stimulus in Antonio's case was initially the hospital. The unconditioned response to being at the hospital was he didn't feel well. Then the Hospital became the conditioned response by making Antonio feel sick when he had to visit or drive by the hospital. It is because he associated the hospital (CS) with feeling ill. The hospital where he was treated for the sickness is the conditioned stimulus (CS), causing him to remember what occurred and inducing his stomach to hurt (CR) which is an conditioned response. This is an example of classical

Unconditioned response would be desire for one’s significant other to look and smell like the old spice guy. That would be unconditioned response because the behavior is natural, a...

  • Classical Conditioning Case Study Essay

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the case study, Jim Colbert, a third grade teacher, struggles to help a boy named Carlos. This Public School 111 was located in a metropolitan, run down neighborhood. The school was surrounded by drug dealers and trash. However, the inside of the school was bright and welcoming. Here the students were placed according to their abilities, and Jim had a 3-A class for the high achieving students. Jim had a routine that he followed every day. He would take the learning and apply it to the student’s lives with practical examples. To begin the day Jim would go through the homework with the students, and here he began to notice that Carlos was misspelling many of his words. Carlos comprehended the readings, but he was behind in his spelling. Jim talked with the other third grade teacher, Paul, about Carlos. Then, he talked to Carlos about the problem, asking him if he could get help at home. Here Jim discovered that Carlos would get little to no help at home. Jim sent home a dictionary with Carlos so that he could check his spelling, and he saw

  • The Sensation-Brain Process Identity Theory

    1720 Words  | 4 Pages

    U.T. Place and J.J.C. Smart defend the view that a sensation state is a type of brain process. The ‘Sensation-Brain Process Identity Theory’ states: For any type of sensation state S, there is a type of brain state B such that: S = B. For Place, conscious experience is nothing but a brain process. Place and Smart argue against the view that acceptance of inner processes entails dualism (Place 44). Instead they hold conscious qualities can effectively be reduced to physical processes which are conscious states. A sensation state is an inner process. Inner processes according to Place and Smart are nothing ‘over and above’ brain processes. Under their view, the experience one has when tasting vanilla is the same thing as the object undergoing the corresponding type of brain process. The ‘Brain Process Identity Theory’ argues the ‘feel’ we associate with exposure of vanilla to the tongue is identical to a type of brain process cause by said exposure. To postulate non-physical properties to explain conscious states would bear the burden of proof.

  • Taking a Closer Look at Psychophysics

    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    Other areas of psychophysics determine the difference in sensitivity for different individuals. Some observers have a tendency to respond to certain stimuli in a distinct way, which is known as response bias. In order to sort out the problem of response bias, signal detection theory (which identifies two distinct responses in sensory detection) is used. The way this is done is by administering an initial test to establish the observer’s sensitivity, followed by a second test which establishes if the observer possesses a response bias...

  • Absorptive and Postabsorptive States

    286 Words  | 1 Pages

    The absorptive state is the time during and right after eating a meal. The absorptive state lasts for four hours, during and after each meal. During this state glucose is the most important energy fuel. Amino acids and fats are used to form degraded protein, and small amounts are used to provide ATP. Metabolites are transformed to fat if they are not used for anabolism. Glucose is formed by the conversion of fructose and galactose, which are stored in the liver from the entrance of monosaccharides. Glucose is released into the blood, or converted to glycogen and fat. Some glucose enters the liver and is used for energy, and any that is not used will be stored in skeletal muscle as glycogen or in adipose cells as fat. Liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose cells use triglycerides as their primary energy source. Amino acid are also used by the liver to synthesize plasma proteins. Essentially all of the events that occur in the absorptive state are directed by insulin.

    During this stage a stimulus which produces no response (i.e. neutral) is associated with the unconditioned stimulus at which point it now becomes known as the conditioned stimulus (CS). Often during this stage the US must be associated with the CS on a number of occasions, or trials, for learning to take place.

  • Spence's Theory Of Discrimination Training

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    In operant conditioning stimuli are associated with a reinforcer or punishment. Generalization occurs when an individual responds to similar stimuli in the same way and discrimination occurs when they respond to some stimuli but not others. Stimulus discrimination training refers to the strategy in which an individual is taught to engage in certain behaviors in the presence of particular stimuli. This type of training can either be conducted using classical or instrumental conditioning procedures. In instrumental conditioning procedures the stimulus that signals the availability of the reinforcement is referred to as the S+, while the stimulus that signals the lack of reinforcement is called the S-. The S+ and S- are called discriminative stimuli once they have successfully gained control of the behavior of an individual. The S+ is the discriminative stimuli for performing an instrumental response while the S- is the discriminative stimuli for not performing such a response. Dr. Kenneth W. Spence produced a theory of discrimination learning, which aimed to gain a better understanding on what is

  • The Preparatory-Response Model by Ivan Pavlov

    1962 Words  | 4 Pages

    The preparatory-response model was first proposed by Pavlov and is a type of classical conditioning. Pavlov suggested that a conditioned stimulus can act as a substitute for an unconditioned stimulus. An example of the preparatory-response theory involves cases in which conditioning eventually results in a conditioned response that appears to be opposite of the original unconditioned response. This type of preparatory response is called a compensatory response and is easily observed in habitual drug users. The user can learn to associate cues from the environment that are commonly present when using a drug the body begins to prepare itself for the effect.

    A theory I decided to use to develop and intervention program to lower pregnancies in teenagers is the stimulus response theory. The stimulus response theory is a “behavior change theory that is incorporated” to explain and modify a person’s behavior (Sidman, 2006). Stimulus response theory is also refers to conditioning. I chose this theory because it is one of the oldest theories in the books and is still used widely today. Also, it is an essential tool for targeting the younger population for preventative reasons and it is easy for young people to comprehend.

  • Analysis Of Nervous Conditions
