Detailed explanation-1: -The individual began to associate the pain of being stung (unconditioned stimulus) with the buzzing sound of the bee (neutral stimulus). So, whenever the individual hears the buzzing sound of the bee (conditioned stimulus), they tend to become afraid (conditioned response).
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: -A good example of a neutral stimulus is a sound or a song. When it is initially presented, the neutral stimulus has no effect on behavior. As it is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus, it will begin to cause the same response as the UCS.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wash the area with soap and water to remove residual venom and reduce the chance of infection. Apply an ice pack for at least 20 minutes to control pain and swelling. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to help with pain and itching, and cover with a bandage.
