Detailed explanation-1: -Th e CR, or conditioned response, is the response an organism produces when only a conditioned stimulus is present. In this case the conditioned response is the aversion to the sheep, which occurred after conditioning made an association between the substance and the sheep.
Detailed explanation-2: -A group of ranchers attempts to discourage coyotes from attacking their sheep by placing a substance on the wool of the sheep that makes coyotes violently ill if they eat it. Very quickly, the coyotes avoid the sheep entirely.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is that classical conditioning associates involuntary behavior with a stimulus while operant conditioning associates voluntary action with a consequence. Classical and operant conditioning are two central concepts in behavioral psychology.
Detailed explanation-4: -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. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation.
Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of Stimulus Discrimination In one well-known experiment on classical conditioning, researchers paired the taste of meat (unconditioned stimulus) with the sight of a circle (conditioned stimulus), and dogs learned to salivate in response to the presentation of a circle.
