a. unconditioned response (UR).
b. neutral stimulus (NS).
c. conditioned stimulus (CS).
d. conditioned response (CR).
c. conditioned stimulus (CS).

Answer 1

Answer:

Conditioned stimulus.

The conditioned stimulus earlier is the neutral stimulus but later become strong stimulus after combining with the unconditioned stimulus. Jane do not feel nauseated in the waiting room but now the waiting room has become nauseated for him.
