Document Summary
According to pavlov, the cs does not elicit the conditioned response initially, but comes to do so as a result of becoming associated with us. By contrast, the us is effective in eliciting the target response from the outset without any special training. Pavlov"s definitions stated in terms of the elicitation of the response to be conditioned identifying potential cs"s and us"s requires comparing responses elicited by each stimulus before conditioning makes identification of cs"s and us"s relative. A particular event may serve as cs relative to one stimulus, and as us relative to another: e. g. a palatable saccharin solution for thirsty rats. Taste may serve as cs in taste aversion conditioning procedure, with illness as us. Conditioning trials consist of exposure to saccharin flavour followed by drug that induces illness, and participant acquires aversion to saccharin solution: same saccharin solution also serve as us in sign-tracking experiment.
