As to how exactly a stimulus affects a response was once a theoretical dilemma for learning theorists. The expression "stimulus-response connection" was in fashion for sometime and some thought that it was a physical connection,for example,Guthrie.Some learning theorists saw the necessity to differentiate between the CR and the UCR hinting that the CR is a weaker form of the UCR in terms of amplitude( for example viscosity). S-R psychology implied a definitive relationship,until a dude like Hull came up with his hypothetico-deuctive analysis introducing all types of intervening variables/hypothetical constructs into the mix. It would seem that real behaviorists should be of an S-R orientation.However as to what is a stimulus and what is a response is a matter for another post. Send me something.
