Stimulus Conditional

In psychology and medicine, a conditioned stimulus (synonym - sigalka) is understood as a signal object, the action of which has already become habitual for the body, and not just unconditional. If we regularly irritate a living organism, it adapts to this irritant and may begin to exhibit defensive reactions when faced with it in a normal situation. Thus, addiction is not a passive addiction, like that of a drug addict, which has a similar effect.

An example would be a regular alarm clock that wakes a person up for work. An alarm clock that goes off periodically will stop waking up the body, as the reaction to it will work and the body will get used to the alarm ringing.

Similarly, a machine will stop disturbing a person if non-standard methods are used, for example, a machine alarm will not emit alarms if the light in the room is left on for a minute. Another striking example of this can be found in everyday life: restaurants, people who like to quickly drink beer, but never remove empty containers. When leaving a restaurant, a person is accustomed to leaving empty beer bottles on the bar counter; this process of eating will take much less time: the person knows that this process is common and is perceived by him in the same way as certain actions. A person is characterized by such associations, for example, on the way to work, you can drop into a flower shop at an address determined in such a way as to spend the least amount of time on it.
