This week in psych we learned about classical conditioning. According to our text, classical conditioning is a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. In order for classical conditioning to work, there needs to be an unconditioned stimuli, an unconditioned response, a neural stimuli, a conditioned stimuli, and a conditioned response. In the video I found on classical conditioning, the Nerf gun was the unconditioned stimulus and getting mad is the unconditioned response. The maker of the video added in a "quack" every time they shot the Nerf gun. The quack is the neural stimulis because it has nothing to do with a Nerf gun. Eventually, the "quack" became the conditioned stimuli and being mad or expecting to get mad became the conditioned response.
unconditioned stimuli = something that triggers a response automatically
unconditioned response = the automatic response
neural stimuli = something that has nothing to do with the unconditioned stimuli
conditioned stimuli = the old neural stimuli
conditioned response = unconditioned response
