IDENTIFYING THE COMPONENTS OF A CLASSICALLY CONDITIONED RESPONSE:
For each of the following identify the UCS, UCR, CS and CR.
1. Alexander is four years old. One night his parents decided to light a fire in the family room fireplace. A burning ember jumped out of the fireplace and landed on Alexander's leg, creating a nasty burn. He cried because the burn hurt. A week later, when Alexander's parents start to light another fire in the fireplace, Alexander begins to cry. (UCS: burn; UCR: crying; CS: fire in the fireplace; CR: crying)
2. Emily is driving to work during a heavy snowstorm when the brake lights on the car ahead of her come on. She hits her brakes but is unable to avoid hitting the car. She is badly shaken up in the accident. The next time she is driving in the snow she notices that she tenses up every time she sees brake lights come on ahead of her. (UCS: accident; UCR: shaken up; CS: driving in the snow; CR: tensing up)
3. Bill's mom followed the same routine before serving dinner--she would put ice in the glasses and then call "come and get it, dinner's ready". Immediately upon hearing those words, Bill would quickly run down the stairs. After awhile, Bill would come running down the stairs when he heard the ice hitting the glasses. (UCS: mom calling "come and get it, dinner's ready"; UCR: running down the stairs; CS: ice hitting the glasses; CR: running down the stairs)
4. Gary is the client relations officer at his firm. The phone in his office has "caller id" so that the client can be identified before he answers the phone. After receiving a call with a rude client, Gary would be very annoyed and agitated. He began to notice that the rude calls tended to come from clients that were identified by a "1-800" number on the caller id. Therefore, whenever a "1-800" number appeared, he would become annoyed. (UCS: call from a rude client; UCR: annoyance and agitation; CS: "1-800" number on the caller ID; CR:

    This case presents to the court two separate parties from Benton State College in the town of Benton in Eastern California. In 2010, three students founded a chapter of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS) in Benton. These students included Chris Bridges, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and Onika Tanya Maraj. Bridges and Germanotta were legally married in the state of Texas; Bridges and Maraj do not have a legal state recorded relationship. In accordance the doctrine of the FLDS, Bridges regarded Germanotta and Maraj both as his “wife” (Pomerantz, pg 1). Although Bridges sought to be legally married to both Germanotta and Maraj, California law prohibits him from doing so. Bridges applied for a marriage license at the office of the clerk of Benton and was refused the license. Bridges appealed, and denied again. Bridges looks to our court to decide whether he should be granted a marriage license for himself and Maraj.…

    CRASH! The chair James had been rolling under had fallen over and knocked a crayon box off of my desk. The loud noise interrupted the story and the children complained, "James, Miss Gigout can't even finish a page. You're messing up the story. Miss Gigout, does he have to be in our class?" James pulled the chair off himself as the crayons rained down from the desk. His face burned deep red and he began to cry. He turned his back to the class, trying to pick up the mess he'd caused, and I felt his shame.…

    Classical conditioning occurs when we learn to link two stimuli and anticipate events. It is a type of learning that is majorly influenced by behaviorism. Behaviorism assumes that all learning occurs through interaction with the environment and the environment shapes behavior. Two critical components of classical conditioning are the unconditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response. The unconditioned stimulus is one that naturally and automatically triggers a response. The unconditioned response is the unlearned response that occurs naturally in response to the stimulus. A conditioned response is the result after an association between the USC and CS occurs. Classical conditioning…

    Stress tends to affect the brain in many ways, however, it is due to trauma at different stages in life that will presumably have different effects on the brain, for instance, it can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. When my father was a child he saw an uncle of his killed by a Doberman Pincher, this caused him to become a victim of PTSD. The PTSD transformed the manner in which he reacts to Dobermans and all other types of dogs he comes in contact. As a child, my siblings and I were never allowed to have any sort of pet. It was as if it were a sin to come into contact with an animal. However, now that Abraham, who is the oldest of the boys in the family, married an animal fanatic they own; a horse, three miniature ponies, two dogs which…
