Question
### Classical Conditioning: Eye-Blink Response **Research Context:** Dr. Davis is conducting classical conditioning studies focusing on the eye-blink response. Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. **Study Description:** - **Naturally Occurring Connection:** In this study, it is established that a puff of air will naturally cause the eye to blink. - **Experimental Setup:** Dr. Davis rings a bell and then applies a puff of air, subsequently causing the eye to blink. This sequence is repeated multiple times. - **Conditioned Response:** After several trials, the subject begins to blink their eye when Dr. Davis rings the bell, even in the absence of a puff of air. **Question for Understanding:** What is the unconditioned stimulus in this experiment? - Eye-blink - **Puff of air** *(Correct Answer)* - Bell ringing - Not enough information given to know **Explanation:** The unconditioned stimulus (US) is the stimulus that naturally triggers a response without any prior learning. In this case, the puff of air is the US because it naturally causes the eye to blink (the unconditioned response, UR) without any conditioning. The bell becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) that triggers the conditioned response (CR), which is the eye blink, after the association has been learned. This setup is a practical implementation of Pavlovian (classical) conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (bell ringing) comes to elicit a response (eye-blink) after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus (puff of air) that naturally brings about that response.
