Document Summary
Respondent behavior: are controlled (elicited) by antecedent stimuli. Unconditional responses (ur): elicited by antecedent stimuli even though no prior conditioning had occurred. This response is usually elicited when we subject people to unconditional stimuli (us) (i. e. puff of air into your eyes us you blink ur). So an us produces an ur because often it has a survival value to it. Respondent condition occurs then when neutral stimuli (ns) (i. e. a bell sound) are paired with unconditional stimuli (such as food) (so 1st ring + 2nd food 3rd salivate). As results of this paring for a long time, the ns then elicits an unconditional response (i. e. salvation) without the presence of us (ring a bell salivate) Timing of the neutral stimulus and unconditional response: Trace conditioning: ns ns ends us ur (click sound then after it is done present food then the dog salivates)
