example‚ the conditioning stimulus will be a bell ring‚ the unconditioned stimulus is a shock‚ and the unconditioned response will be fear. Fear can be stimulated when the bell ring is paired with a shock enough times that eventually‚ when the bell would ring‚ the body would automatically respond as though the shock had occurred. The association is so strong that even without the actual shock‚ the fear of receiving a shock can still be stimulated. The amygdala plays a role in fear conditioning because without

Milgram implemented an aggressive shock generator with shock levels beginning at thirty volts and increasing in fifteen volt increments to the maximum of four hundred fifty volts. In the study‚ the “teacher” is informed to communicate words and ask the “learner” to interpret the information back. If the learner answers incorrectly‚ the teacher supposedly shocks the learner with fifteen volts‚ with a gradual increase to four hundred fifty according

A primary victim means the person who is within the area of potential danger.

In the experiment‚ the subject is told by the experimenter to give shocks from a scale of low to dangerously high to the person in the electric chair (who was an actor) when they give a wrong answer. The shocks were not real‚ but prior to the experiment‚ the subjects were given a small shock to influence them that the shocks in the experiment were true.

In case of the wrong answer from the ‘learner’ the ‘teacher’ was required to assist an electric shock using a shock generator. The shock generator had 30 lever switches ranging from 15 to 450 volts. Volunteers were presented with a sample shock (45 V) prior to the experiment‚ therefore they believed that the shock generator is real and working. The ‘learner’ started to grunt from 75 V and as the voltage went up‚ he was expressing painful groans. At 300
