our eyes cannot see things which are very bright or dim. Our senses function within a limited range of stimulation. In order to be noticed by the sensory receptor‚ a stimulus needs to be of a suitable intensity to be noticed by the sensory receptor‚ i.e. it has to carry a minimum value or weight. The minimum value of a stimulus required to activate a given sensory system is called absolute threshold or absolute limen. E.g. the minimum number of sugar granules required to say that water in a glass

The conditioned stimulus (Nescafé cold coffee) and the unconditioned stimulus (thirst) will be paired repeatedly in these ads to produce the conditioned response of freshness/coolness. These repeated exposures will enhance the strength of associations which in turn would enhance recall. After Repeated Pairings

Fear and Anxiety A fear is composed of both operant and respondent behavior; typically a person becomes afraid of a particular stimulus or stimulus situation. When the stimulus is present‚ the person experiences unpleasant bodily responses and (autonomic nervous system arousal- respondent behavior) and engages in avoidance or escape behavior- operant behavior. A phobia is when the level of anxiety or escape behavior is severe enough to disrupt the person’s life. fears/phobias result of classical
