Summarize how classical conditioning is achieved
What will be an ideal response?
Classical conditioning involves learning an association between two stimuli. It makes use of a pre-existing reflexive response. For example, a puff of air into the eye causes a blink. The puff of air is the unconditioned stimulus (US) and the blink is the unconditioned response (UR). A different, neutral stimulus (NS) such as a tone is presented in conjunction with the US. After several combinations, the US can be withdrawn and the blink is elicited by the tone alone. At this point, the tone is the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the blink is the conditioned response (CR).
