Question

Come up with a classical conditioning experiment you could do alone, with a partner, or an animal. Describe what you did and identify the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, and conditioned response

Answer 1

Everyday you go to work and come home at 8:00. You are tired and hungry, so as soon as you come home, you eat food and while you are at it, your mother makes the bed for you with quilt on the bed and turn on the ac/heater.

Now in this case, you being tired and 8:00 o’clock in the night are  unconditioned stimuli (US) and as a result you sleeping is an unconditioned response (UR).

After 40 days of following this routine, the heater/ac and quilt on the bed are now a conditioned stimuli ( CS). So now at anytime of the day if you are in your room and your mother turns on the ac/heater and makes the bed with quilt on it. Your brain will tell you that you are feeling tired, so probably you may also feel hungry but definitely you will feel sleepy and you will lay down in the bed and go to sleep or will try to sleep. Now this feeling sleepy is a conditioned response ( CR) triggered from the CS.
