 Off-camera folks. You have no idea what just happened, but I probably won't really tell you But if you catch me in a bar, I'll explain Neutral stimulus has to do with classical operant Really really negative really Hold on hold on folks. Here we go. This is no longer going to be a neutral stimulus I'm going to punish myself. All right. Here we go now this neutral stimulus is no longer neutral All right, let's try this again. All right The term is neutral stimulus neutral stimulus We only refer to them when we're talking about classical conditioning often referred to as respondent or Pavlovian conditioning a Stimulus that does not elicit All right a response is neutral. So in other words, the various type of responses we're talking about are Reflexes so because we're talking about classical conditioning, right? So in classical conditioning, we work with reflexes a stimulus that does not Elicit a reflex is neutral. So I'm playing around with this little rubber here and that rubber does not elicit a reflex It's just a thing. It doesn't doesn't have any value to me. It doesn't it has no reflexive value so to speak So it doesn't elicit anything in me. So we could say it's neutral However, we could pair this with something to make it not neutral at that point we get into Condition stimuli and things like that. So but neutral stimuli do not elicit anything any words do not elicit any Reflexes in individuals until you do something with them. So basically everything in your world is a neutral stimulus
