Identify the neutral stimulus,the US,and the CS in this scenario as well as the UR and CR. explain your answers

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The Neutral Stimulus: The beam of light to elicit a reflex.

The Unconditioned Stimulus:  It is not dependent on the respondent's behavior. In this scenario, when the light beam is directed on the eyes is the unconditioned stimulus.

The Conditioned Stimulus: When the unconditioned stimulus is paired with the initial neutral stimulus, it becomes the conditioned stimulus. In this scenario, the tone which is played to elicit the blinking on eyes is the conditioned stimulus.

The Unconditioned Response: In this scenario, the blinking of the eye on receiving the light beam prior to the conditioned stimulus is the unconditioned response.

The Conditioned Response: In this scenario, the blinking of eyes when the tone is played is tge conditioned response.
