Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The family’s dog often barks loudly. Each time the child sees the dog, he cries. What is the conditioned response? the frequency with which the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus occur together.

Detailed explanation-2: -A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation. It is important to note that the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -In classical conditioning, the stimulus comes before the behavior to develop a relationship between the two. In operant conditioning, the behavior comes first and the negative or positive reinforcement comes after.

Detailed explanation-4: -Classical conditioning focuses on involuntary responses, whereas operant conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviors. Classical conditioning is involved with negative outcomes, whereas operant conditioning is involved with positive outcomes. Extinction occurs in classical conditioning, but not in operant conditioning.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some more examples of unconditioned responses include: Gasping in pain after being stung by a bee. Jerking your hand back after touching a hot plate on the oven. Jumping at the sound of a loud noise.
