Question

through the conditioning process, the neutral stimulus is turned into what?
an unconditioned stimulus
an unconditioned response
a conditioned response
a conditioned stimulus
question 2 multiple choice question
points 1
_______________ occurs when a previously conditioned response decreases over time and eventually stops. if you permanently remove the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response to the conditioned stimulus will eventually stop.
shaping
stimulus generalization
extinction
stimulus discrimination

Explanation:

Question 1

In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes a conditioned stimulus that can elicit a conditioned response. An unconditioned stimulus is naturally triggering, an unconditioned response is the natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus, and a conditioned response is the reaction to the conditioned stimulus. So the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus.

Shaping is about reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior. Stimulus generalization is responding similarly to similar stimuli. Stimulus discrimination is responding differently to different stimuli. Extinction is the decrease and stopping of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is removed, matching the description.

Answer:

D. a conditioned stimulus
