UnConditional stimulus - Any condition that evoke a response without going through any previous learning occurs naturally. - Neutral stimulus- initial produces no specific response other than focusing attention.
Condition stimulus- I have to become an associate it with unconditioned stimulus eventually becomes a trigger a conditioned response.
Unconditioned response a class of a condition as I learned that occurs naturally in reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.
Conditioned response I know automatic response establish my training to an ordinary neutral stimulus. |
