Theories Of Response Conditioning
Specific Procedures:
Each morning for four days I drank lemon water and recorded my experiences. Each morning I cut a lemon into two, squeezed half of the lemon into a 16-ounce McDonalds cup (MC), filled the cup with water and drank it. Following this, I washed the cup with soap and water, placed it back in the cupboard and recorded my experiences.
Day 1: After waking up I walked to the kitchen, opened the cupboard and grabbed my MC from cupboard. I grabbed a lemon, sliced it into two and squeezed half of the lemon into the MC. I used water to fill the remaining of the cup and drank the entire cup. While drinking, I felt my eyebrows raise, lips pucker and my mouth salivate as a reaction from the drink. These physical reactions disappeared after about a minute. After this I cleaned the cup with soap and water, placed it back into the cupboard and recorded my experiences.
Day 2: After waking up I walked to the kitchen and grabbed my MC from …show more content…
The response conditioning theory suggests that if a neutral stimulus is followed closely in time by an unconditioned stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response, then the previous neutral stimulus will also tend to elicit that response in the future (with respect to that specific response). This project demonstrates this theory of response conditioning. The MC worked as the unconditioned stimulus (US) and the lemon water as the conditioned stimulus (CS). The physical reactions from the lemon water (salivation, lip puckering and eyebrow rising) worked as the unconditioned response (US) and the learned physical reaction to the cup worked at the conditioned response (CR). By pairing the NS (cup) with the CR (physical reactions from lemon water), I formed as associated between the MC and the sour taste. This associated elicited the responses of salivation, lip puckering and eyebrow rising from just looking at the
