Conditioned response (cr) cat meo: the little albert experiment. Drug use: environmental cues associated with drug use can become cs, can produce cr of drug craving, need higher doses for effects (tolerance) Sexual arousal: environmental causes (places, smells, clothing, can become associated with experiences, can have role in experiences. Operant conditioning: learning controlled by the consequences of the organism"s behaviour, the organism gets something because of its response, also known as instrumental conditioning.
