Detailed explanation-1: -n. a stimulus, event, or object that serves to guide behavior, such as a retrieval cue, or that signals the presentation of another stimulus, event, or object, such as an unconditioned stimulus or reinforcement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elicited behaviors are behaviors that occur due to a specific environmental stimulus. We will discuss reflexes and modal action patterns and then move to a discussion of how repeated stimulation leads to either an increase or decrease in responding or the strength of a response.
Detailed explanation-3: -In classical conditioning an emitted response is a behavior or action that is a result of a stimulus that is not voluntary. Essentially a reflex, organisms cannot consciously stop these elicited responses from occurring. A Pavlovian example of this would be a dog’s salivation at the sight of food.
