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) I belief associating hospital with feeling sick is a classical conditioning, since the flu is a natural process within the body, and the hospital is associated with sickness and treatment. Classical conditioning
tends to involve unconscious processes where we learn to associate stimuli and anticipate events. (Module 6.1) Operant conditioning can be viewed as organisms learning to associate a behavior and its consequence with either positive or negative outcome. when I was young, I had gotten a part-time job to pay for a new (used) car. After making my final payment I received my title from the dealer. On my way home, I was rear-ended by a business van. Being a new driver, he tried to say I caused the accident. Which made me extremely mad, I had two options either to react negative or positive. Had I engaged in argument, or possibly physical altercation would lead to negative punishment. By calling the police, and insurance to handle the incident, I would be engaging in positive reinforcement. (Module 6.3) Positive Reinforcement: when a desirable stimulus is added in order to increase a behavior. Negative Reinforcement: when an undesirable stimulus is taken away in order to increase a behavior. Positive Punishment: an undesirable stimulus is added to stop or decrease a behavior. Negative Punishment: an pleasant stimulus is taken away to decrease or stop a behavior. (Module 6.3) Classical and Operant conditioning are both considerate learning processes. However, they do differ. Classical conditioning is involve in unconscious process, and operant condition involves conscious process. In operant condition behavior can be associated with either a negative or positive consequence depending on the outcome. Whereas, in classical conditioning, the stimuli is the neutral organism.
