Answer:

CS: The grandmother's house

UCS: The falling down the stairs.

Explanation:

Conditioning learning is an style of learning where a conditioned stimulus is associated with an unconditioned stimulus and they produce a conditioned behavioral response.

(1) In this learning, at first, the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is an stimulus that produces a response by itself in a natural way, thus, the UCS acts as a naturally occurring trigger that leads to a natural response.

(2) This natural response that the UCS triggers is called the unconditioned response (UCR), thus, the UCR is a natural response to the unconditioned stimulus.

(3) The conditioned stimulus (CS) is what comes next in the process, and this is an stimulus  that does not create a response on its own but when it's paired with the UCS, and after some repetitions, it creates a response which is learned. Thus, the CS is an stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus.

(4) This conditionally learned response that was learned because of said pairing is called conditional response (CR), thus the CR is a learned response to a conditioned stimulus.

(5) We said in paragraph (3) that the conditioned stimulus did not create a response on its own but once it's paired with the UCS it creates a learned behavior.

In this example, <u>Scott fell down the stairs at his grandmother's house and he was very frightened. Now, whenever his parents mention visiting his grandmother's house, he feels anxious and fearful.</u>

In this case, t<u>he UCS (stimulus that produces a response by itself in a natural way) would be the falling down the stairs which by itself triggers a response of being frightened. </u>

<u />

On the other hand,<u> </u><u>the CS (stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus) is the visit to the grandmother's house which by itself doesn't produce feelings of anxiety but since it was paired with Scott's accident down the stairs now it produces the response of feeling anxious and fearful).</u>

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

. b. An observable stimulus accompanies a private stimulus

Explanation:

In sociology, public accompaniment refers to the verbal effort that members of society make to correct a certain situation. For this to occurs, observable stimulus and private stimulus need to exist on the same time.

List two checks the executive branch has on the legislative branch of government
Serga [27]

The legislative branch can `` check ‘’ the executive branch by rejecting the President`s veto of a legislative action …this is known as an override . A two third vote in each legislative chamber ( House of Representatives and Senate ) is required to override a Presidential veto .

The Senate can reject a treaty that the Executive has signed ; a two thirds vote in the Senate is required to formally enact a treaty .

The Senate must approve Executive appointments to cabinet , and the Federal Judiciary .

The ultimate check for the legislative branch is the power to impeach and remove the president . The House of Representatives acts as prosecutor , and The Senate acts as jury . The House of Representatives drafted articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon in 1974 , but Nixon resigned the office of the presidency before he was formally impeached .
