2 Discussion A Whenever a conditioned stimulus (CS) is repeatedly presented alongside an unconditioned response (UR), a process known as respondent conditioning takes place (Cooper et al., 2020). A conditioned response is induced when a neutral stimulus (NS) is transformed into a conditioned stimulus (CS). An unconditioned stimulus causes a response in a person without prior training ( Mauk et al., 2019 ). A conditioned reaction has been learned via repeated exposure to the same environmental cues or conditioned stimulus. After doing my best to understand respondent conditioning, my stimulus-stimulus pairing example is the following. An instance of conditioned or reflexive action in my immediate environment that results from a prior stimulus-stimulus combination would be my feeling of joy when I see anything related to Christmas. I get so excited to see Christmas decorations in stores, specifically Santa Claus figures, because I think of the winter Christmas holiday. It is funny, but I always associate the brand COCA-COLA with Christmas because of their Christmas commercials; they remind me of pure holiday joy with family. Christmas (US)>Emotions: Happy, Joy, Excitement Coca-Cola brand (NS)> NO RESPONSE During Conditioning: Christmas + Coca-Cola (US)> Emotions: Happy, Joy, Excitement (UR) After conditioning: Coca-Cola (CS) > Emotions: Happy, Joy, Excitement (CR) In this example, the Christmas holiday (with Santa Claus as a known visual) serves as the unconditioned stimulus (US), and the emotions serve as the unconditioned response (UR). The 2

3 Coca-Cola brand did not elicit a response and was a neutral stimulus (NS). During conditioning, the reference above Christmas and Coca-Cola brand as an unconditioned stimulus (US) cause emotions as the unconditioned response (UR). After the frequency of conditioning, the Coca-Cola brand becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS), paired with the emotions as the conditioned response (CR). This action has a beneficial effect on me, and I can replicate it by manipulating the stimulus would be the smell of apple cinnamon candles because they remind me of Christmas. Other stimuli I could use are gingerbread cookies or the smell of pine trees. 3
