Title: Classical Conditioning
Post by: sandi on November 02, 2012, 07:01:21 pm: Is it okay to refer to the neutral stimulus as being the conditioned stimulus before the conditioning has actually occurred.
If for example we have to provide a definition of acquisition could you say that it is the where you associate the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus?
