What does mean nonreactive?
Non-reactive means there is no response when exposed to stimulus or to other materials.
What is an all-or-none response?
An all-or-none response refers to a biological principle where a neuron or muscle fiber responds to a stimulus with a full action potential or contraction, or not at all, depending on whether the threshold level of stimulation is reached. This means that once the stimulus surpasses a certain threshold, the response is uniform and complete, regardless of the stimulus's intensity. In neurons, this phenomenon ensures that signals are transmitted consistently and effectively.
What is associative conditioning?
Associative conditioning, often referred to as classical conditioning, is a learning process in which an organism learns to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus, resulting in a learned response. This concept was famously demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov, who trained dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell by repeatedly pairing the bell with food. Over time, the bell alone elicited the salivation response, illustrating how associations between stimuli can shape behavior. This type of conditioning is foundational in understanding behavioral psychology and learning processes.
What is the simplest behavior sequence?
The simplest behavior sequence typically consists of a stimulus, a response, and a consequence. For example, a person sees a red light (stimulus), stops their car (response), and avoids a potential accident (consequence). This sequence reflects basic behavioral principles like operant conditioning, where responses are shaped by their outcomes.
What features characterize the class of conditioning segments?
Conditioning segments are characterized by their ability to create a specific response through associative learning. Key features include the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response, the ability to generalize responses to similar stimuli, and the potential for extinction when the conditioned stimulus is presented without reinforcement. These segments are crucial in understanding behavioral psychology and the mechanisms behind learning and adaptation.
What is it called when the stimulus increases the probability that a preceding behavior will be repeated?
Pavlovian response.
A stimulus presented to a person or animal that decreases the probability of a particular response is known as?
Punishment by Application
When can a conditioned response be extinguished?
A conditioned response can be extinguished through repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus. Over time, the association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus weakens, leading to a decrease or disappearance of the conditioned response.
The response of an effector is?
The response of an effector is the action or change that it produces in response to a stimulus. Effectors are organs or structures in the body that carry out the response, such as muscles contracting in response to a nerve signal. This response helps to bring about homeostasis and maintain the body's internal balance.
What is the difference stimulus and response?
A stimulus is an external event that triggers a response in an organism. A response is the reaction or behavior that an organism exhibits as a result of a stimulus. In short, a stimulus is the input, while a response is the output.
Is the decrease in response to a stimulus that occurs after repeated presentations of the same stimulus?
Habituation - Chapter 9 - development from the Robert Feldman Textbook entitled Essentials of Understanding Psychology
What response is caused by a neutral stimulus?
A response caused by a neutral stimulus is known as a conditioned response. This occurs when the neutral stimulus becomes associated with a unconditioned stimulus through conditioning, leading to a learned response.
What came first a stimulus or a response?
A stimulus comes first before a response. A stimulus is any event or situation that evokes a response from an organism. The response is the reaction or behavior that is produced in reaction to the stimulus.
What is the term for person's tendency to become familiar with a stimulus due to repeated experiences?
The term for a person's tendency to become familiar with a stimulus due to repeated experiences is "habituation." It is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated exposure to it.
Is sunlight a reaction to stimulus?
A response.
What is a naturally occurring reaction to a particular stimulus?
The reaction to a stimulus is called a response. An intensified stimulus usually evokes a more intense response. Of course the type of response to a stimulus depends on the nature of the stimulus. Scream at someone and they likely will feel verbally attacked. The screaming is the stimulus, feeling attacked is the response.
Are stimulus and response the same thing?
No, stimulus is the cause and response is the effect. In feeding an animal, giving it food is the stimulus and it eating the food is the response.
