Answer 1

Answer:

If Joseph is successful, the neutral stimulus, the squirrel, must have been paired with an unconditioned stimulus such as a loud noise.

Option: (d)

Explanation:

• In classical conditioning, two of the stimulus are linked together in order to produce a newly acquired response in a person or animal.
