Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Dylan’s mother buys him a new hat before they go on a family fishing trip. On the boat, Dylan gets nauseated and vomits. The next day he feels nausea when simply looking at the hat. The hat has become:

A	an unconditioned stimulus
B	a conditioned stimulus
C	a conditioned response
D	an unconditioned response

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Some more examples of unconditioned responses include: Gasping in pain after being stung by a bee. Jerking your hand back after touching a hot plate on the oven. Jumping at the sound of a loud noise.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment. A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extinction is the decrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented with the conditioned stimulus. When presented with the conditioned stimulus alone, the dog, cat, or other organism would show a weaker and weaker response, and finally no response.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is that classical conditioning associates involuntary behavior with a stimulus while operant conditioning associates voluntary action with a consequence.
