What is an unconditioned reflex?
Give this one a try later!
-unconditioned stimulus (US) (the pain resulting from touching a hot surface)
elicits an unconditioned response (UR) (retracting your hand from the hot surface)
(ex. low temp elicits shivering, high temp elicits sweating)
-determined by phylogenic history
, -in an environment
-environment and stimuli must be independent of behavior
-it must be a physical environment in which the organism or organism's
effector exist
-external environment (ex. a room a person walks into)
-internal environment (ex. someone's brain where neurons are firing)
-physical shape or form (hand claps)
-same form may produce different effects, and different forms may
produce the same effects
-EX. cry→ get food, or removal of instruction
-a conditioned stimulus (CS)

, Where does behavior occur? What is response topography?
How does an unconditioned reflex
What is an unconditioned reflex? become a conditioned reflex?
Don't know?

Term
What are the three key attributes that define behavior, in
addition to organism?
Give this one a try later!
-has an interaction with its environment
-has a detectable displacement in space through time (behavior
is movement)
-results in measurable change in at least one aspect of the
environment (affects
environment in some way)
-can be measured by
-temporal locust: the point of time at which the specific behavior occurs
-temporal extent: duration of the behavior
-repeatability: how often that behavior occurs
