Answer 1

EXAMPLE OF CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

The classical conditioning was conducted on a pair of canaries and a cat and the response was thus taken.

EXAMPLE 1

Before conditioning-

The unconditioned stimulus (food) was presented which result in an unconditioned response from the cat.

Neutral stimulus (woollen ball) was thrown which result in playing.

During conditioning-

The food was presented with the woollen ball which results in unconditioned response.

After conditioning-

Whenever the woollen ball (conditioned stimulus) was thrown to her it provokes a conditioned response.

EXAMPLE 2

Before conditioning-

The unconditioned stimulus (food) was presented which result in an unconditioned response from the bird.

Neutral stimulus (a melodious song) was played which result in no response.

During conditioning-

The song was played with food which results in unconditioned response.

After conditioning-

Whenever the song (conditioned stimulus) was played it provoke a conditioned response.

Reinforcement and punishment are included in operant conditioning.
