Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Your dog comes running when he hears his dog food being poured into a bowl. The sound of the dog food is a ____
A
stimulus
B
response
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What was this tone? Explanation: In Pavlov’s experiment, he coupled what was once a neutral stimulus with an association (food) for the dogs. This neutral stimulus became associated with food through a learned process, thus becoming a conditioned stimulus for what was once an unconditioned response.

Detailed explanation-2: -An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response. In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples. Unknowingly, you may have already applied the principals of classical conditioning to your dog. If your dog enjoys walks, and associates the sound of his leash being removed from its spot with an imminent walk, does he get excited just by hearing the leash? That’s classical conditioning at work.

Detailed explanation-4: -A conditioned taste aversion can occur when eating a substance is followed by illness. For example, if you ate sushi for lunch and then became ill, you might avoid eating sushi in the future, even if it had no relationship to your illness.
