Using Behavior Analytic Vocabulary, explain the various characteristics of Respondent Conditioning, identifying specific relationships between stimuli and responses and discussing how the elements of time and environment contribute to an organism's respondent behavior. Next, explain the process used to reverse an established reflexive stimulus-response relationship. Finally, analyze the scenario and discuss each of the elements of Respondent conditioning that you identify. A young girl named Cindy walked into a room where a magician stood in front of a box containing different objects. One by one, the magician removed each object from the box as Cindy stood by and observed. Inside of the box was a rattle, a mask, a teddy bear, a live guinea pig, a rubber snake, and a magazine. As the magician removed each object, he placed it on the table. Cindy simply watched without any reaction. The magician picked up the guinea pig and held it out for Cindy to hold. As Cindy reached for the guinea pig, a very loud crack of thunder shook the room. Cindy began to scream and ran from the room. The next day, Cindy met the magician again, and upon petting the guinea pig, another loud bang shook the room, scaring Cindy into a panic as she ran. A few days later, Cindy went to the mall with her mom. Cindy's mom thought that she would like to visit the pet shop, so they walked in to see the puppies. Right by the door was a small cage that held a guinea pig. As soon as Cindy saw the guinea pig, she began to cry and she ran out of the store! When Cindy and her mom got home from the mall, her little brother, Stanley, came running to greet her. He held out the new little tan and brown stuffed Beany Boo that he had won at the carnival! Once again, Cindy cried in fear and ran out of the room.
