Reflex Conditioned First Order

A first-order conditioned reflex is a reflex that is produced when reinforced by an unconditioned stimulus.

A first-order conditioned reflex is formed as follows: first, a conditioned stimulus (for example, a sound or light signal) is presented, which initially does not cause any reaction. Then, after the presentation of the conditioned stimulus, there is an unconditioned stimulus (for example, food or pain), which causes an unconditioned reflex (salivation or a defensive reaction).

With repeated repetition of such a sequence of stimuli, the body begins to react to the conditioned stimulus in the same way as it reacts to the unconditioned one. That is, a conditioned stimulus acquires the ability to evoke a conditioned reflex. This process is called the development of a first-order conditioned reflex.

Thus, a first-order conditioned reflex is a reflex produced by reinforcing an initially neutral (conditioned) stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus. It is the main form of conditioning in animal and human behavior.

Introduction

A conditioned reflex is the body’s reaction to a stimulus, which is formed as a result of learning. That is, after a certain time, after the body is faced with a certain situation, it begins to react to it automatically. Typically, a conditioned reflex is formed in the presence of an unconditioned stimulus, that is
