Use this H5P interactive exercise to help enhance your learning of Classical Conditioning concepts.
Classical conditioning is the procedure by which a Neutral Stimulus (NS) is regularly paired with a Unconditioned Stimulus (US) and the neutral stimulus becomes a Conditioned Stimulus (CS), which elicits a Conditioned Response (CR) that is similar to the original unlearned one
Classical Conditioning is about reflexive responses
The Neutral Stimulus (NS) is the stimulus that would otherwise not produce a reflexive response
The Unconditioned Stimulus (US) is the thing that elicits an Unconditioned Response
The Unconditioned Response (UR) is the response that is automatically produced- it is reflexive
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) when a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a Conditioned Response (CR) after being paired with a US
Conditioned Response (CR) is the response that is elicited by a CS
