A. Write about classical conditioning by identifying and giving an example of an unconditioned stimulus, an unconditioned response, a neutral stimulus, a conditioned stimulus, a conditioned response, a stimulus discrimination, and a stimulus generalization that you have experienced or seen. B. Cite four examples of operant conditioning you have experienced or seen. Be sure to cite the particular behavior and the consequence (reinforcer or punisher).

Classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. In Pavlov's classic experiment with dogs, the neutral signal was the sound of a tone and the naturally occurring reflex was salivating in response to food. By associating the neutral stimulus with the environmental stimulus (food), the sound of the tone alone could produce the salivation response. Let's explore some of the responses and stimulus. First we have unconditioned stimulus which results in an unconditioned response. For example, presenting food naturally and automatically triggers a salivation response. Then there is neutral stimulus which produces no effects, but will eventually turn into conditioned stimulus. Suppose that when you smelled your favorite food, you also heard the sound of a whistle. While the whistle is unrelated to the smell of the food, if the sound of the whistle was paired multiple times with the smell, the whistle sound would eventually trigger the conditioned response. In this case, the sound of the whistle is the conditioned stimulus.Then comes the conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus. In our example, the conditioned response would be feeling hungry when you heard the sound of the whistle. Stimulus generalization is the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the response has been conditioned. For example, if a dog has been conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell, the animal may also exhibit the same response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus. Discrimination is the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that have not been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.For example, if a bell tone were the conditioned stimulus, discrimination would involve being able to tell the difference between the bell tone and other similar sounds. Because the subject is able to distinguish between these stimuli, they will only respond when the conditioned stimulus is presented.

Explanation: I just wrote it

righttt lol   *shook*

the answer was wrong so you should have checked with your pals first
