Detailed explanation-1: -Example: In the cat example in Key Term 3, the cat’s response of running to the kitchen and salivating when it hears the can opener is the conditioned response.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ivan Pavlov conducted experiments on dogs, in which he used classical conditioning principles to spur the dogs to salivate whenever a bell was rung. Specifically, the dogs learned to associate the ringing of the bell (the conditioned stimulus) with the presentation of food (the unconditioned stimulus).
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer to this question is provided by option D: An infant is tired of looking at his mobile. Habituation can be understood as a process that occurs through the repeated presentation of a stimulus and results in a decreased response to the stimulus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Have your kids ever cleaned their room, just to avoid your nagging? This is a perfect example of negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement occurs when something unpleasant or uncomfortable is removed or taken away in order to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior.
