Why should a conditioned stimulus trigger a conditioned response?
A conditioned stimulus is a substitute stimulus that triggers the same response in an organism as an unconditioned stimulus. Simply put, a conditioned stimulus makes an organism react to something because it is associated with something else.
How does a stimulus discrimination work?
Stimulus Discrimination is when we learn to respond only to the original stimulus, and not to other similar stimuli. The concept of Stimulus Discrimination follows from the idea of Stimulus Generalization, which is when we respond not only to the original stimulus, but also to other similar stimuli.
Which of the following is stimulus discrimination?
Stimulus discrimination involves the reinforcement of a response in the presence of a stimulus (SD) and extinguishing that response in the presence of an SΔ. An instance of stimulus discrimination is if a child swears on the playground. The other children would be reinforcing which makes them an SD.
When a discriminative stimulus influences a Behaviour that Behaviour?
When a discriminative stimulus influences a behaviour, that behaviour: is said to be under stimulus control.
