CLASSICAL CONDITIONING SHORT ANSWER: Everyone must answer ALL of these questions. For each classical conditioning example below, identify the Neutral Stimuli, Unconditional Stimulus, Unconditional Response, Conditioned Stimulus and Conditioned Response. The responses and stimulus is in bold in each scenario. 1. Lynn is a 2-year-old girl. Her mom and she like to play a game where her mom pretends to have one of Lynn's stuffed animals, a little monkey, tickle Lynn's feet. Actually, Lynn's mom is doing the tickling. Lynn laughs and kicks her legs reflexively whenever her feet are tickled. Now, if Lynn sees her mom grab hold of her stuffed monkey, Lynn starts to laugh and kick her legs. Neutral Stimulus: Unconditioned Stimulus: Unconditioned Response: Conditioned Stimulus: Conditioned Response: 2. A real estate agent showed Mela pictures of a particular lakeshore property while they were eating a delicious, mouth-watering meal. Later, when Mela is in the real estate office trying to decide which property to purchase, she finds herself drooling when she sees the pictures of that particular lakeshore property. Neutral Stimulus: Unconditioned Stimulus: Unconditioned Response: Conditioned Stimulus: Conditioned Response: 3. Psychologists like to experiment on other organisms in their immediate environment, so Jenny decided to perform a few experiments on her kitty, Precious. Jenny had a little clicker that makes a loud ‘CLICK’ sound. She walked around the house, randomly clicking it while Precious rested in the living room. Then Jenny sat down with Precious, and used the flash on her camera to flash a bright light at the same time she clicked. Precious blinked because of the flash, and looked mildly annoyed. Jenny repeated this process with her 4 times, then clicked the clicker, without using the flash. She still blinked! Neutral Stimulus: Unconditioned Stimulus: Unconditioned Response: Conditioned Stimulus: Conditioned Response:

Classical Conditioning For each of the following examples, identify the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), the Unconditioned Response (UCR), the Conditioned Stimulus (CS), and the Conditioned Response (CR). 1. Mark really enjoys spicy food. His favorite restaurant in Raleigh is Los Tres Magueyes. Every time he eats there, he literally perspires from the hot spices. Yesterday, as he drove past the restaurant, Mark began to perspire profusely. UCS____________________ UCR____________________ CS____________________ CR____________________ 2. Katie is five months old. Her mother warms her bottles in the microwave. Whenever the bell on the microwave dings, Katie begins to drool. UCS____________________ UCR____________________ CS____________________ CR____________________ 3. Annie had to give a presentation for her Psychology class. She was so nervous that she felt sick to her stomach. Megan was sitting in the front row wearing "Hopeless" perfume (way too much "Hopeless" perfume). Even though her presentation was over, for three days whenever Annie smelled Megan's perfume, she felt extremely nervous and sick to her stomach. UCS____________________ UCR____________________ CS____________________ CR____________________ 4. After a rat is exposed to repeated pairings of an electrical shock and a red light, the rat's heart races whenever a red light is presented.

Identify some situation in your experience in which classical conditioning is operating. What is the Unconditioned Stimulus (US)? The Unconditioned Response (UR)? What Neutral Stimulus (NS) has been paired with the US? What is the Conditioned Stimulus (CS)? What is the Conditioned Response (CR)?
