CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment. A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-2: -Salivation is one such conditioned reflex; it occurs only when a person is conscious of the presence of food or when one imagines food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Over time, the sounds of the clicking metronome caused an increase in salivation. This means that the dog learned to associate the metronome and the food with a learned behavior. This response was learned (conditioned), which was referred to as a conditioned response or a Pavlovian response.

Detailed explanation-4: -In classical conditioning, an unconditioned response is an unlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus. 1 For example, if the smell of food is the unconditioned stimulus, the feeling of hunger in response to the smell of food is the unconditioned response.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. An unconditioned response is a response that is reflexive and involuntary in nature, which is reliably induced every time an organism comes across to biologically significant stimuli.
