Question

PSYCH: You want to classically condition your pet. What is the correct order you should present the stimuli to your pet?

Answer 1

Answer:

unconditioned stimulus

neutral stimulus, unconditioned stimulus

Explanation:

Classical conditioning is the process of linking two stimuli to produce a response. There are 3 phases for classical conditioning:

1. Phase 1 (before conditioning): During this phase an unconditioned stimulus is paired to produce an unconditioned response. An unconditioned response naturally triggers a response.
2. Phase 2 (During conditioning): This phase involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus does not naturally trigger a response.
3. Phase 3 (after condition): In this phase only the conditioned stimulus is presented to produce a conditioned response. The conditioned response triggers a response after pairing with an unconditioned stimulus
