3 primary elements: 1) stimulus (s) 1/21/2013 4:10:00 pm stimulus is also a signal allows the response to occur. You respond because that stimulus has become important through classical conditioning. Operant stimulus, is the stimuli you are responding to. There are other conditioned stimuli as well: 2) response (r, 3) significant event (s*) Stregthens the s-r bond: here you are not responding to the burger, you are responding to the. Mcdonalds sign which became important through classical conditioning. Sign and burger have been associated together over and over and over. Therefore, what makes it operant is the response. Example: operant stimulus the cigrette! (you pick it up, smoke it- this is the most direct element, -the operant response is smoking) The other stimuli are conditioned stimuli that cause a conditioned response. (contextual cues, smell, smoke etc: stimuli: Contextual cues bars or smoking chamber.
