CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Pavlov’s dogs salivating in response to the food is an example of the unconditioned response. By repeatedly pairing a conditioned stimulus (the sound of the buzzer) with the unconditioned stimulus (the food), the animals eventually came to associate the sound of the buzzer with the presentation of food.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is an unconditioned stimulus? An unconditioned stimulus (UCS or US) can naturally elicit an automatic response without prior conditioning or learning. It is also called the primary reinforcer. The involuntary response, also known as the unconditioned response, is a reflex triggered by the unconditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -The unconditioned response is the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus. Through classical conditioning the neutral stimulus is then associated to become the conditioned stimulus, causing a conditioned response. The conditioned response is reinforced as the process is repeated.

Detailed explanation-4: -In other words, the previously neutral stimulus (the metronome) had become what is known as a conditioned stimulus that then provoked a conditioned response (salivation).

Detailed explanation-5: -Reflex. an unlearned, involuntary response that is not under personal control or choice. Stimulus. an object, event, or experience that causes a response.
