Respondent conditioning What occurs when an unconditioned stimulus (US) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (NS), causing the neutral stimulus to become a conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits the reflexive behavior (now a CR) without the presence of the unconditioned stimulus (US). Hint: Respondent conditioning occurs when antecedents are paired, not through consequences. Conditioning here means pairing, not learning. 5th Edition Task ListB-3 Define and provide examples of respondent and operant conditioning. 6th Edition TCOB.3 Identify and distinguish between respondent and operant conditioning. Related Content Unconditioned response (UR) An unlearned, automatic response (reflex) that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus.Unconditioned stimulus (US) A stimulus that elicits an automatic response without any prior learningThree-term contingency: Known as the ABCs of behavior and involves an occasion for a behavior (A/SD), the behavior itself (B), and the consequence(C) that follows that behavior. These components (i.e., the antecedent,…Respondent behavior An involuntary behavior that is part of an organism’s genetic endowment, elicited without any prior learning, when an eliciting stimulus (US) produces a behavior (UR/REFLEX).Phylogeny A branch of biology that deals with genetically-inherited behavior.Operant behavior A voluntary and learned behavior determined and maintained by its history of consequences and defined by its function (not its topography).Operant conditioning A process that involves an occasion for a behavior (SD), the behavior itself, and the consequence that follows; a process that determines the future of that behavior’s occurrence or nonoccurrence.Ontogeny A branch of biology that deals with learned behaviors resulting from interaction with one’s environment.Neutral stimulus (NS) A stimulus that does not elicit a respondent behavior.Habituation When an unconditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short period of time, the strength of the respondent behavior diminishes.Consequence A stimulus change that comes after a behavior.Conditioned response/reflex (CR) An unlearned, automatic response that is elicited by a previously neutral stimulus which has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus that typically elicits the response.Conditioned stimulus (CS) A formally neutral stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus and as a result can elicit a reflexive behavior.Dana's Do's: Conditioning Us to Understand Operant and Respondent Conditioning?
