Creatively answer the following questions by collaborating a poster with your table.
(1) Draw a sketch of Ivan Pavlov, and describe what he contributed to Psychology.
(2) What is the difference between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus?
(3) Draw 3 examples of the classical conditioning model that we discussed in class identifying and
describing the NS, US, UR, CS, and CR.
(4) Under what conditions might a conditioned response become extinct?
(5) You have a friend who inhales noisily when standing next to you and then puffs air into your
