| | The original response to the unconditioned stimulus is called an unconditioned response; the learned response to the conditioned stimulus is called a conditioned response. | | | Classical conditioning, as it is represented by Pavlov's model, may be defined as the formation of an association between a conditioned stimulus and a conditioned response, on the basis of an existing relationship between an unconditioned stimulus and an unconditioned response. | | | 3 The unconditioned stimulus is presented with the conditioned stimulus to elicit the unconditioned response. |

| | Serial Conditioning as a function of stimulus |
| | A stimulus dependency may actually have been responsible for the distribution controlled by the procedure with an added response dependency, or an adventitious response contingency may have been responsible for the distribution controlled by the stimulus-dependent procedures. | | | The lack of sharp stimulus control in an interval schedule is usually taken to indicate that the underlying variables controlling behavior must either be difficult to discriminate accurately or must vary too much for a precise discrimination to emerge. | | | Appendix I presents the probability with which each stimulus was followed by food, for each bird, in the three phases of this experiment. |

| | Conditioned Relationship: the new stimulus-response relationship we created by associating a new stimulus with an old response. | | | Second, we pair a new thing (Conditioning Stimulus) with the existing relationship, until the new thing has the power to elicit the old response. | | | "Stimulus" simply means the thing that starts it while "response" means the thing that ends it. |

| | HKWD stimulus control prompt hierarchy homeschool disabilities special education |
| | Stimulus control can be developed through differential reinforcement (reinforcing the correct response and not reinforcing incorrect responses), extra-stimulus prompts/prompt hierarchy (information that the teacher adds to the learning interaction--pointing, verbal, modeling, etc.). | | | This is done by changing the stimulus to enhance its relevance for the child or by manipulating the number of distractors you present when you are teaching. | | | In other words, stimulus control is manipulating what you say or do (the stimulus) in order to elicit the desired response from the person you are teaching. |

| | Discrimination and the Discriminative Stimulus |
| | Because responses always occur and are reinforced (or not) or punished (or not) in some stimulus context, one can expect response probabilities to vary sensitively as contexts change. | | | When Thorndike's cats operated the latch-mechanism of a puzzlebox and escaped from the box, the situational stimuli associated with being in the box were present when the response occurred and resulted in the unlatching of the door. | | | In Thorndike's Law of Effect, responses that occur in a particular context or "situation" were said to become "connected" to the situation, "so that, when the situation recurs, the response is more likely to occur" (Thorndike, 1898, 1911). |

| | ACM Stimulus-Response Paper |
| | Thus, the designer always demonstrates a triggering stimulus operation, but as she does she can demonstrate a condition that must be true for the stimulus to trigger its response. | | | If a response is demonstrated on the same object as the stimulus, the inferred descriptor is "the same instance as the stimulus." Pavlov will also infer if a particular condition should identify which instances are chosen (e.g., all rectangles that are green). | | | Demonstrations in these systems consist of selecting a portion of the interface (a set of cells in the grid) that make up a "before state", then manipulating the objects residing in the selected portion of the grid to show an "after-state". |

| | Stimulus |
| | Pavlovian conditioning occurs when a correlation between a stimulus and a reinforcer is enforced. | | | Additionally discriminative control occurs when a correlation between a stimulus and a reinforcer is enforced while a response reinforcer relationship is enforced. | | | These procedures showed that with a response dependency an interfood clock suppressed behavior below what would occur under a single stimulus or under a random stimulus condition but did not reduce early responding to zero. |

| | TIP: Theories |
| | The theory also covers negative reinforcers -- any stimulus that results in the increased frequency of a response when it is withdrawn (different from adversive stimuli -- punishment -- which result in reduced responses). | | | The distinctive characteristic of operant conditioning relative to previous forms of behaviorism (e.g., Thorndike, Hull) is that the organism can emit responses instead of only eliciting response due to an external stimulus. | | | It could be verbal praise, a good grade or a feeling of increased accomplishment or satisfaction. |

| | The principles are derived from the idea that an effective tax stimulus package needs to do two things: maximize the extent to which it directly stimulates new economic activity in the short-term; and minimize the extent to which it indirectly restrains new activity by driving up interest rates. | | | Hassett and Hubbard also note that policy-makers have difficulty effectively timing the applications of fiscal stimulus, and therefore argue that a temporary investment incentive could be applied at an inappropriate moment. | | | It includes permanent changes that are less effective at stimulating the economy in the short run than temporary changes but more expensive. |
