Explain what is likely happening using the following terminology: conditioned stimulus (CS), unconditioned stimulus (US), conditioned response (CR), and unconditioned response (UR).
Indicate whether this statement is true or false.
Answer: A good answer will include the following key points.
? This is likely a case of classical conditioning.
? The flash would automatically cause a blink; this makes the flash a US and the blink a UR.
? In the beginning, the beep is a neutral stimulus, but because the beep has a history of preceding the flash, it becomes a CS.
? The closed eyes in the photos are due to the fact the beep (CS) causes blinking (CR) just as the photo is taken.
