Directions: Three examples of classical conditioning are outlined in the following
paragraphs. In each example, identify the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned
response, conditioned stimulus, and the unconditioned response.
The Shower When Tom gets back to the dormitory after jogging around the campus, he
likes to take a quick shower before going to class. One morning, while taking a shower,
he hears someone flushing a nearby toilet. Suddenly, extremely hot water comes rushing
out of the showerhead and Tom experiences excruciating pain. After muttering a few
obscenities, he continues showering. A few minutes later, Tom hears another toilet flush
and he leaps out of the shower.

Stop the Carousel I Want to Get Off India was ecstatic when she learned her family
was going to the state fair next weekend. When her family arrived at the state fair the
temperature was in excess of 100° F, but India didn't care because she was finally there.
India stopped and watched some clowns performing next to the carousel. As she watched
the silly antics of the clowns with the carousel music playing in the background, India got
more and more sweaty and uncomfortable. Eventually, she fainted from the heat. After
that trip to the state fair, every time India hears carousel musical she feels a little dizzy.

When Good Tuna Goes Bad John was really looking forward to lunch because his
mother had prepared a tuna salad sandwich. Unfortunately, the mayonnaise she used had
been left out too long and was spoiled. Not long after eating the sandwich, John felt sick
and had to rush to the bathroom. Thereafter, the mere mention of a tuna sandwich would
make John nauseous.

For each of the following scenarios identify the CS, UCS, CR, and UCR.

One of the best places to start is with the natural stimulus and response

(UCS and UCR).

  1. Taste Aversion You go out to eat at your favorite Mexican restaurant and have a big Mexican meal. Within 6 hours of leaving you are violently ill and appear to have some type of food poisoning. You can not even imagine eating Mexican food again. Six months later, your stomach still turns when you think of going to eat at that restaurant. UCS: CS: UCR: CR:
  2. Classic Your favorite food is chocolate. You could eat it day and night. In fact, sometimes you refer to yourself as a chocoholic. Your roommate also eats quite a bit of chocolate, but she hides it away from you in a locked drawer (smart, don't you think?). However, she always shares her chocolate whenever she eats some; she just doesn't want you to eat it all one day when she is in biology lab. Whenever you hear her unlock the "special" drawer you know that you are going to get some chocolate. After about 2 weeks of living with your roommate, your mouth begins to water as soon as you hear her key go into the lock of the drawer. UCS: CS: UCR: CR:
  3. Advertising You like pretty girls; seeing them you generally feel happy and many times your heart works a bit harder. When soda commercials have pretty girls drinking the soda and dancing around the soda logo, you find that the soda is fairly appealing. When you see the soda in the store your heart starts pumping a little faster and you feeling light and happy. Consequently you buy this soda and pretty girls dance around you. No wait, that's only what the advertisers want you to believe. In reality you do buy the soda, but aren't quite sure why. UCS: CS: UCR: CR:

Classical Conditioning Principles Worksheet Classical conditioning is a form of associative learning, learning produced by pairing of stimuli and responses in time and place. It contributes to likes and dislikes, emotional reactions, and reflex-like responses to things. Below, explain the situation being described in terms of classical conditioning. For each description, identify or suggest the US, UR, CS, CR, as well as the principles likely to be at work.

  1. While caring for a friends dog, you notice that it displays a fear-like posture as you roll up a newspaper. You try this several times more and become convinced that this dog is generally afraid of rolled up newspapers.
  2. Joan, an animal trainer, has been phobic about monkeys since an earlier attack. However, because of the money, she has agreed to work with monkeys for a movie studio. At first, just going anywhere near cages makes Joan tense, sweaty, and apprehensive. Lately, though, things have changed. Working with such cuddly, affectionate, human-like creatures is causing Joan to wonder why she ever felt such extreme distress.
  3. At a red light, Bob and Fred automatically tensed and felt chills when they heard the screech of tires behind them. Later, while watching a car race, Bob remarked how the screeching of tires was having little effect then. Fred agreed and wondered why they reacted at all, because neither had as much as a dent on his driving record.
  4. Early in their relationship, the mere sight of Donna excited Jack. This gradually died out, however, as Donna behaved tolerantly but indifferently. When the relationship ended, Jack was bored with Donna and didn't even think about her for the next year. Now, he was surprised at how excited he was becoming as he saw Donna through the window of a bus.
  5. Bill couldn't ever remember being so sick and nauseated. He would never go to that restaurant again, and he would never eat chicken again. All he could think about was the good dinner his mother would prepare for his homecoming. As he entered the kitchen, he became flushed and felt nauseated when he saw the golden brown turkey sitting on the table.
