Document Summary
Respondent conditioning operant behaviors are controlled by their consequences. E. g. , sucking reflex, gag reflex, knee jerk, food aversion, fears / phobias, Puff of air (us) eye-blink (ur) Respondent conditioning process through which previously neutral stimulus (ns) is paired with unconditioned stimulus (us), and, as a result, the ns becomes a cs and elicits a cr (dog + bell = salivation) A ns becomes a cs when paired with another cs (sound of can opener becomes a cs for the cat then, the squeaky cabinet door becomes another. Cs, because it was paired with the can opener) The nature of the ns and the us (more intense stimuli = more effective) Number of pairings (before the ns becomes cs) Negative cers (unpleasant: autonomic nervous system (fear response) Positive cers (pleasant: love, pleasure, happiness.
