Suppose your friend owns a camera that makes a beeping noise 1 second before the flash goes off. After taking your photo many times, your friend starts to complain that you are always blinking in her photos
Explain what is likely happening using the following terminology: conditioned stimulus (CS), unconditioned stimulus (US), conditioned response (CR), and unconditioned response (UR).
Indicate whether this statement is true or false.
Answer: A good answer will include the following key points.
? This is likely a case of classical conditioning.
? The flash would automatically cause a blink; this makes the flash a US and the blink a UR.
? In the beginning, the beep is a neutral stimulus, but because the beep has a history of preceding the flash, it becomes a CS.
? The closed eyes in the photos are due to the fact the beep (CS) causes blinking (CR) just as the photo is taken.
