Are advertisements aimed at teenagers ethical?

This can be seen as a question that requires an opinion rather than an absolute answer. So, the authors of these commercials might find them ethical.

Personally, I find them unethical. Teenagers haven't yet experienced the real value of money (haven't worked or not a lot) so they can't yet make an informed choice about the product: whether it's worth the time they spent making the money that it costs. This means that the advertisements are influencing the teenagers not to decide whether they need the product, but to demand of their care givers to buy it for them.

Answer:

In this example, the ticking metronome is the neutral stimulus before conditioning and the conditioned stimulus after conditioning.

Explanation:

Food was the original unconditioned stimulus - the stimulus that causes an automatic, natural response. Salivating was the natural response to food. The metronome initially meant nothing to the dogs, meaning it was a neutral stimulus. However, Pavlov paired the sound of the metronome with the food. Because of that, the dogs associated the two and began to expect food every time they heard that sound. Now, the metronome is a conditioned stimulus, provoking the conditioned response of salivating in the dogs.
