Document Summary
Concluded that there are two types of reflexes: conditional & unconditional: unconditional reflexes: an unconditional reflex is just a reflex (discussed before) consist of an unconditional stimulus and an unconditional response. Unconditional stimulus: the stimulus that elicits an unconditional response. Unconditional response: the response elicited by an unconditional stimulus: conditional reflex: a reflex acquired through pavlovian conditioning and consisting of a conditional stimulus and a conditional response. Conditional stimulus: the stimulus part of a conditional reflex; the stimulus that elicits a conditional response. Conditional response: the response part of a conditional reflex; the response elicited by a conditional stimulus: found that anything could become a conditional stimulus if it became paired with an unconditional stimulus. For example, clapping your hands could become a conditional stimulus if you paired it with something like putting breadcrumbs in your dogs mouth right after clapping elicits salvation. Eventually, the dog would start salivating as soon as you clapped.
