Document Summary
The css of the painting may elicit pos emotional responses and reinforce pausing to admire work. Sd might compete with the response to get the child: this also occurs with distracting stimuli. Seeing or hearing a friend walk through the door is external stimuli that may elicit css of positive feelings and a smile and sd of saying something congenial to them. Ex: negative thoughts about sex can function as css that elicit anxiety and guilty feelings, which are emotional responses that interfere with normal sexual functioning. Even though stimulation of te genitals elicits pleasurable sensations as a reflex, if the cognitive cs is guilt or anxiety this serves as a competing response that tends to stop the orgasm or the sensations of pleasure. This is why when a blind person asks for directions people will still point to the direction: in a place where it is less likely to occur is when the s2 differs from the learning context.
