Application of Classical Conditioning, Case Study Example

1. This describes an unconditional stimulus. The dog is not afraid of rolled-up newspapers from previous events. It is afraid of them from this event (Antonietti, 2751).
2. This describes a conditioned stimulus. Joan has been phobic of monkeys due to an earlier attack. However, she has chosen to work with monkeys for a film because of her money.
3. This describes a conditioned stimulus. Bob and Fred remembered the incident from previous screeching of tires.
4. This describes a conditioned stimulus. Alvin got excited about Rochelle as he remembered the times he was excited about her in the past.
5. This describes a conditional response. Bill had been conditioned to his mother’s food, and as a result, he was so nauseated when he missed it.
