The girl in the closet

The purpose of this paper is to identify five conditioned stimuli that elicit responses for Lauren that would not elicit a response for you or me. Lauren was abused at a great extent that has her conditioned to a lot of unnatural stimulus that normally is just a part of our everyday lives. The first conditioned stimulus I would like to identify is the response of fear and pain to abuse and the abuse is derived from sexual contact from her mom. The unconditioned stimulus is abuse that gives the response of fear and pain that is stimulated from constant exposure to rape and molestation from her mother, in turn leads to the conditioned stimulus of sex. The second conditioned stimulus I would like to …show more content…
The unconditioned stimulus is water, the response is fear, and the conditioned stimulus is bathtubs. The fourth conditioned stimulus I would like to pinpoint is the response of security and comfort from a police officer that provided a mountain dew for her. The unconditioned stimulus is police officers, the response is feeling safe and comfort, and the conditioned stimulus is mountain dew. The officer who first found her bought her a mountain dew and provided her with affection and feeling of security. The fifth conditioned stimulus I would like to observe is the response of fear and pain to abuse resulting from the smell of her mother’s perfume (aroma). The unconditioned stimulus is abuse that gives the response of fear and pain that is resulted to the conditioned stimulus to the smell of Laurens Moms perfume. Lauren would have to smell the aroma of her mother’s perfume every time she would abuse

    Albert is a nine month old boy who was subject to emotional testing. He went through a series of pretesting and was eventually introduced to a white rat. Albert initially had no fear of the rat but every time he would reach out to touch it he heard the sound of a hammer hitting a steel bar. The tests eventually led to the following results: First they introduced the banging of the steel bar (unconditioned stimuli) causing fear (unconditioned response) in Albert. They then introduced a white rat to Albert who initially had no fear of the rat. Every time Albert reached out to touch the rat the loud banging was heard, which eventually resulted in Albert being afraid to touch the rat. Finally they introduced just the rat (conditioned stimulus) without the loud banging still caused fear (conditioned response) in Albert.…

    In the first set of trials, Sniffy will learn to associate the tone with shock; illustrating fear-related behavior or freezing behavior at the tone. In the second set of trials, stage 2, elimination of a conditioned response (CR) (freezing or fear-related behavior) learned in the first set of trials will occur by repeatedly presenting the CS without the US.…

    Outline And Evaluate The Behavioural Model Of Psychopathology

    Psychologists found an unconditioned stimulus for Albert which was a loud noise, this was his unconditioned response of fear. They then placed a white rat in with Albert (he wasn’t scared of it) and played they noise every time the rat was near. By doing this Albert created a new stimulus response link by associating the rat with the fear which the noise elicited. The rat was a conditioned stimulus and fear was the conditioned response.…

    3. Responses are acquired—that is, initially learned—best when the CS is presented half a second before the US. This finding demonstrates how classical conditioning is biologically adaptive because it helps organisms prepare for good or bad events. 
Higher order conditioning occurs when the conditioned stimulus from one conditioning procedure is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second, often weaker, conditioned stimulus. 
Extinction refers to the diminishing of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus occurs repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus. Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished…

    Classical and Operant Conditiioning

    Have you walked into the pet store and went to buy pet treats? Which one stands out the most? Most would see the yellow bag of Beggin Strip. Beggin strips has a very humorous form of classical conditioning in there commercial. It starts out with the dog lying on the bed, he hears the bag open. The smell travels up the stairs, across the street to the neighbor’s dog. The smell even traveled to Paris, France where French poodle was standing by the Eiffel Tower. Once the dog smells the treats he takes off running down the stairs where he sees the women in the kitchen. As the dog continues running downstairs he saying repeatedly “bacon.” The women proceeds to say “who wants Beggin strips”, the dog very hyper, thinks “me, me, me, I would get it myself but I don’t have thumbs.” The lovely lady kneels down and give him one while she rubbing and petting him. The neutral stimulus in this commercial is when the bag opens and the graphic of the smell. This is the neutral stimulus considering the smell of treat bacon treats has no effect. A dog can smell several different things and won’t bring out any response. The unconditioned stimulus is the treats due to the fact that treats are a dog favorite, when the dog knows they are getting a doggy treat. It’s gets real excited and starts begging. This brings out the conditioned response when compared with the conditioned stimulus the smell brings out the begging and excitement the dog is doing in the commercial. Excitement does not have to be previously learned nor taught. This also is unconditioned response. When the neutral stimulus is compared with the treats you get the conditioned response, when learning the smell of the treats will eventually overtime bring out the excitement and the begging the dog is doing.…

    Chapter 4 provides an examination of the mechanisms of classical conditioning. The chapter begins by presenting research about the factors that contribute to effective conditional and unconditional stimuli. These factors include stimulus novelty, intensity, salience and belongingness. Several models that attempt to characterize the nature of the conditional response are explored, and the effects of the US and CS on the CR are presented. Evidence supporting and contradicting the stimulus-substitution model, homeostatic models, and behavior systems theory is evaluated. Tests of S-R versus S-S learning are then presented. The chapter concludes by addressing the question of how conditioned and unconditioned stimuli become associated. The blocking effect is presented as an introduction to several models of associative learning including the Rescorla-Wagner model, attentional models, the temporal coding hypothesis, the relative waiting time hypothesis, and the comparator hypothesis.…

    Phobias and Addiction

    A process of behavior modification in which a subject learns to respond in a desired manner such that a neutral stimulus (the conditioned stimulus) is repeatedly presented in association with a stimulus (the unconditioned stimulus) that elicits a natural response (the unconditioned response) until the neutral stimulus alone elicits the same response (now called the conditioned response). For example, in Pavlov's experiments, food is the unconditioned stimulus that produces salivation, a reflex or unconditioned response. The bell is the conditioned stimulus, which eventually produces salivation in the absence of food. This salivation is the conditioned response…

    Unconditioned Response Paper

    the flu (sick) is an unconditioned stimulus (UCS): a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response in an organism. feeling sick was the unconditioned response (UCR): a natural (unlearned) reaction to a given stimulus. Every time that Antonio goes near or has to visit the hospital where he was treated, it becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS), and feeling sick to his stomach becomes the conditioned response (CR). Antonio learned to associated the hospital with illness, and once near or inside hospital, he anticipates feeling sick. (Module 6.2)…

    Examples Of Operant Conditioning

    Classical conditioning refers to the involuntary responses that result from experiences that occur before a response. It occurs when you learn to associate two different stimuli. It involves a stimulus which has no affect and it is called the neutral stimulus. The neutral stimulus can be a person, place, or thing. The neutral stimulus, in classical conditioning, does not produce a response until it is paired with the unconditioned stimulus.…

    Module 2: Classical Conditioning

    In classical conditioning, there is the a neutral stimulus that is presented before an unconditioned stimulus, which creates an association between the two ("Module 6.2: Classical Conditioning"., n.d.). The example of Antonio's fear and dread of hospitals is a good example of classical conditioning based on that alone. In Antonio's case, the unconditioned stimulus would be the hospital, as this type of stimulus is what elicits a reflexive response ("Module 6.2: Classical Conditioning"., n.d.). Having the experience of being ill and in the hospital has given the hospital a negative associating in his mind, which is why when he goes by he has the conditioned response of feeling ill, which is the behavior that has been conditioned ("Module 6.2:…

    Classical Conditioning Experience

    Before conditioning diet coke elicited no response in me, and alcohol caused a reflexive response of gagging with no prior learning. Like Pavlov¡¦s dogs learned to associate the sound of the bell with the presentation of food, so did I associate the taste of diet cola with the presence of alcohol. As far as immediate physiological responses were concerned, the taste of diet coke became equivalent to the presence of alcohol. Therefore, the alcohol is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), because it elicits a response prior to learning, which is unconditioned response (UCR), gagging. The diet coke paired with the alcohol becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS), which would ultimately cause the gagging to become the conditioned response…
