S-R

In behaviorism, stimulus-response (S-R) is emphasized
by multiple theorists. Here is an example: Dr. Flanagan usually comes in the morning
and says hi to everybody in my department. I always respond by saying morning
to him. So does Eunice.

This afternoon, he came again after lunch break and
said hi. My spontaneous response was “mor…ning”, and then I realized it’s
already afternoon and stopped in the middle. The funny thing is that I am not
the only one who responded this way. Eunice also said “morning” to him,
spontaneously.

What a typical S-R.
