What happens to a neutral stimulus in Classical Conditioning over time?
It triggers the same response on its own
What is the Unconditioned Response (UCR) in classical conditioning?
It is the automatic response to the UCS
What does CR stand for?
Conditioned response
How does Classical Conditioning occur?
By repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a natural response
What does CS stand for?
Conditioned stimulus
How does a neutral stimulus become a conditioned stimulus?
Through repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus
What does UCS stand for?
Unconditioned stimulus
What happens to the NS after it becomes a CS?
It triggers a conditioned response (CR)
What does UCS stand for in classical conditioning?
Unconditioned Stimulus
What is the Unconditioned Response (UCR)?
Automatic reaction to a natural trigger
What occurs after multiple pairings of a bee sting and the sight of bees?
The sight of bees becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS)
What is the Conditioned Stimulus (CS) in classical conditioning?
It is the NS after being associated with the UCS
What is the Conditioned Response (CR) in classical conditioning?
It is the learned response to the CS
In the context of phobias, what is the UCR when bitten by a dog?
Pain and fear from the bite
What is the unconditioned response (UCR) to a bee sting?
Feeling pain
What is the conditioned response (CR) in this scenario?
Fear of seeing a bee
What does NS stand for in classical conditioning?
Neutral Stimulus
What is the role of the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) in classical conditioning?
It naturally triggers a response without learning
What is a Conditioned Response (CR)?
Learned reaction to a previously neutral stimulus
What is an unconditioned stimulus (UCS)?
A stimulus that naturally triggers a response
What is the definition of Classical Conditioning?
Learning by associating two things together
What does CS stand for in classical conditioning?
Conditioned Stimulus
What does CR stand for in classical conditioning?
Conditioned Response
Why do people develop phobias according to this process?
They associate neutral stimuli with traumatic experiences
How does the Unconditioned Response (UCR) differ from the Conditioned Response (CR)?
UCR is automatic; CR is learned
What happens when a person gets stung by a bee?
The bee sting is an unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
What is the process of pairing a neutral stimulus with a UCS?
UCS naturally triggers UCR.
NS is paired with UCS.
An association forms between NS and UCS.
NS becomes CS that triggers CR.
What is the role of pairing in this process?
It connects the NS with the UCS
What happens when a child is locked in a dark room?
Darkness becomes associated with fear.
How can phobias develop through classical conditioning?
Neutral stimulus (NS) becomes associated with UCS
Example: Seeing a dog (NS) linked to trauma (UCS)
Leads to fear (UCR/CR)
What is the relationship between CR and CS in the context of phobias?
CR is the learned fear response to CS
How does a neutral object become linked with a scary experience?
Through classical conditioning.
What does the association formed over time refer to?
The link between NS and UCS experiences
What is a neutral stimulus (NS)?
A stimulus that initially does not trigger a response
What might happen after a scary encounter with bees?
A fear of insects may develop.
What happens when a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS)?
The NS starts to trigger the same response
What is a neutral object or situation in classical conditioning?
A spider
What does classical conditioning explain in relation to phobias?
It explains how phobias develop.
What is the role of the Neutral Stimulus (NS) in classical conditioning?
It doesn't trigger a specific response initially
What can cause panic later after being locked in a dark room?
Dimly lit places
