what is a stimulus?

[shtellaaa]

@James25H : @James25H: a stimulus is anything that causes a response. (So, the term "neutral stimulus" is a bit of a misnomer, I know, since it doesn't elicit a response in the given context.) See more info here: answers.com/topic/stimulus (scroll down to "World of the Mind" section for specific psychology-related discussion).

so, what is the difference between a conditional reflex and an unconditioned responce. My book used salivating for both examples

[shtellaaa]

Hi hallnoatsforever,

An unconditioned response (/reflex) is one that happens naturally, on its own, without any need for conditioning. For example, when you put a lemon slice into your mouth, you will likely start to salivate--that's an unconditioned response (you weren't conditioned to respond that way).

Conditioning is the process of learning associations...

[TylerMontana]

That's how advertising and society works. You see something and you want it or not want it. That's how most of us are being controlled. Go to work, or you will become a bum.

Thank you so much!! I read my book over and over and over.. and thanks to your video.. I finally understood it!!

[ComJShepN7]

a stimulus is anything that can be perceived. It CAN influence behaviour or cause a response but not necessarily.
